...loans, and millions more in obligations are falling due soon. Algeria has threatened to cut off all oil supplies unless Zaïre pays $20 million in overdue bills. Meanwhile, Le Guide has been spending neither wisely nor well. He shelled out $11 million to sponsor the Ali-Foreman fight "to put the country on the map," and another $14 million went for Portuguese wine to lubricate last week's festivities.

Bula helped promote Ali's "Rumble in the Jungle" against Foreman. He now wants to establish Ali as the middleman in all business deals between Zaïre and U.S. firms. Ali's share could reach $100 million a year...
