...Atlanta City Council last week took another step to keep its young people out of harm's way. In addition to a four-month-old curfew, the council's public safety committee recommended approval of an ordinance banning children under 15 from selling merchandise on the streets or in public places. Assuming that many of the victims were lured by the killer's promise of a job, plainclothes policemen cruising in unmarked cars have been observing black children as they play. Says Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown: "These kids are different from white people in that they...
Prime Minister Robert Mugabe confronted a tough diplomatic task as he arrived in the U.S. last week for Zimbabwe's formal admission into the United Nations and a meeting with President Carter.

(Last week the deposed leader challenged Kampuchea's right to U.N. credentials.) In 1977 the government concentrated on killing regional Khmer Rouge commanders who had collaborated with the Vietnamese...
Other families are falling behind on their bills. Richard McClur, 23, and his wife Pamela, 22, owe two months' rent-a total of about $200-on their four-room cabin. They have made no payments since November on their car, speedboat and motorcycle. They feed themselves and their four-month-old daughter on $138 a month in food stamps, supplemented by pork from hogs raised by Pamela's father...
