...those who fail to meet age or residence requirements. "All Negroes?" a newsman asked Katzenbach. "Negroes who can't read or write?" "Absolutely," he replied. "Treat them the same as whites. If they have been registering illiterate whites, then register illiterate Negroes." Katzenbach's instructions were fol lowed to the letter. Hundreds of Ne groes simply answered registrars' questions, signed an "X" in a couple of places and were put on the rolls.

The dirtiest tests in the past were fission-fusion-fission bombs, the first of which, exploded by the U.S. in 1954, killed a Japanese fisherman by its fallout and seriously injured many people in the nearby Marshall Islands.

...whose deepest joy comes when a white is made "beautiful," i.e., seen in the final torments of death. The plot is so firmly tied to coincidence as to make it seem slightly ridiculous. After a raid, Nebu drops off from his Mau Mau gang to fol low white tracks through the bush. When he catches up to the white man, he finds his old boss, and after he has killed him, he discovers the white man's son, a crippled boy of ten. The boy is neither white nor black. He is, in fact, Nebu...
