But New Jersey has logged a logarithmic increase: 1,014 cases, as against 437 in all of 1960. Seeking the cause of the flare-up, Dr. Roscoe P.

Correspondents Robert Morse and James Burke were among the reporters who decided to stay around Angola after the high-seas adventure of the Santa Maria story ended. They were thus on hand to report Angola's worst racial flare-ups, in which nearly 40 were killed (see FOREIGN NEWS). Some of the perils of reporting Angola last week: one reporter critically injured; four expelled, and the films made by all cameramen (including Burke) mysteriously tampered with in Lisbon, en route...
