...Hampshire twelve weeks hence. But while the bandwagon, floats, trapeze artists and bands formed up impatiently. New Hampshire's chief elephant driver, Republican Governor Wesley Powell, sulked in his tent. Reason: Powell had the offer of an honorary chairmanship of the Nixon campaign, and he wanted to be full chairman, with control of plans and funds.

Although Edinburgh-educated Nyerere dislikes some parts of the new agreement with Britain, he has agreed to support it for four years before taking the next step, full African self-rule.

George Hedley is still a Methodist, but he wears his Methodism with a difference. Frail-looking but sinewy, George Hedley, 60, is the well-beloved, brilliant father figure and campus character of California's small (700 students) Mills College for women. Born in China to British Methodist missionary parents, educated in England and the University of Southern California, he had served as director of the Pacific Coast Labor...
