...problem is complicated by racial overtones. In many of the new African nations, including Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda, there are not enough qualified black judges to fill the benches in the higher courts. As a result, most of the senior judges are white -though many of them, like Skinner, have become citizens of the countries in which they serve. According to present standards, black law students, now in the various national universities, will not be eligible to become judges for another five years...
...nothing else, Washington's new syndicated partnership in punditry is proving highly marketable. Conceived almost a year ago, the Frank Mankiewicz-Tom Braden column is regularly carried by 70 newspapers, including the Washington Post and New York Post, and has been offered as a summer fill-in to another 180 papers.

There are top-name guests, and the hosts themselves are no slouches. Roy Clark-the one who looks like a heftier Sander Van-ocur-was twice the national banjo champion. Guitarist-Composer Buck Owens-the cross between Andy Griffith and George Segal-is a leading country recording artist...

His recent actions indicate that he sees little need for a driving pace at the SEC. In May he appointed James J. Needham to fill a vacancy on the commission. Needham, who for twelve years headed the New York office of a North Carolina-based accounting firm, is a complete unknown in the securities industry. SEC staff members fear that he may need lengthy on-the-job training from Judge Budge and others...
