...sandy hair, freckles and blue-eyed charm, but he is neither naive nor gullible. He doggedly pursued both sides of the confused and rumor-fed struggle in Nigeria, checked federal claims in Lagos against observable fact in Biafra. He carefully outlined his own clear conclusions in a long four-part series for the London Times. Churchill had started with the impression that starvation was exaggerated, bombing of civilians a myth and a federal victory imminent. He wound up appalled at the extent of the Ibo people's suffering and amazed at their ability to hold off the better-armed...
Incriminating Statements. Orozco was accused of shooting down another man after a quarrel outside a Dallas bar back in 1966. He later returned to his boardinghouse and went to sleep.

Presbyterian Scotland got its first resident cardinal in four centuries, Archbishop Gordon Gray of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. And Western Canada was given its first cardinal ever-popular, liberal George Bernard Flahiff, 63, Bishop of Winnipeg...
...Smacking Enthusiasm. The Lamb of the title is, of course, the paschal lamb-not only the animal eaten on the occasion of Passover but the Lamb of God, meaning Christ. Capon's lamb recipes are quite earthy and practical; they offer budget-saving ways of serving eight people (four times) with a single leg of lamb. But something more important is bubbling in Capon's pot. In the practical process of relating a simple recipe he is also reflecting on a profound idea: that ordinary materials used in everyday life can be in a very deep sense signs...
