Decisions that would affect the majority were widely discussed by all living within the framework of the tribe. This form of traditional authority developed to what we all know in Africa as Chieftaincy. Thus it is possible to see that although such an institution was still primitive, a close study will show that it was as democratic as any modern institution, but not without its pitfalls. The economy was subsistent and traditional authorities never had an effective and prosperous economy as our rational-legal authorities of our time. This primitive economic pattern has hardly changed in most of our rural...
...Israel's right to exist. This insistence reflects a commendable willingness to confront the most basic--and hence controversial--issues involved in the Middle East dispute. Indeed, as all the parties involved have pointed out, a failure to reach an understanding on these questions and establish a mutually acceptable framework within which to negotiate a permanent agreement will only ensure the futility of the Geneva Conference...

That Richard (In Cold Blood) Brooks-should decide to bring this trash-posing-as-fiction to the screen also shows at once a keen eye for the commercial and a readiness to pursue his art within the constraining framework of a depressing narrative. In taking on a character like Theresa Dunn as the focal point of his film, Brooks has confirmed an affinity for the dark underside of the individual initially suggested by his adaptation of Truman Capote's book on the massacre of a Kansas farm family. Such subject matter...
