The Sudan, ruled jointly for 56 years by Britain and Egypt, got its independence only 2½ years ago. But the Sudan's wily and forthright Moslem Premier Abdullah Khalil has shown himself surprisingly capable of keeping his young nation free.

With such forthright energy, the New York Post's Sylvia Porter has made herself the most widely quoted financial writer in the U.S. Her column, "Your Dollar," is studied by Wall Street brokers, Washington economists, Chicago bankers and budget-conscious families from coast to coast. Under the impact of the recession, "Your Dollar's" syndication has almost doubled in the past year...
