...bitter, five-hour meeting of the 150-man central committee of the Arab Socialist Union last month, Sabry launched a showdown attack on the federation. Like the pro-Communist Sudanese, the left-leaning Sabry objected to any alliance with Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, a fundamentalist Moslem who vigorously opposes Communism. Sabry's real target, however, was Sadat. Sabry bluntly demanded: "Where did you get the authority to agree to this federation...

...last week's most surprising election upsets, California's flamboyant, fundamentalist educator Max Rafferty was denied a third term as state superintendent of public instruction. The winner is Rafferty's polar opposite: Wilson Riles, 53, a tall (6 ft. 4 in.), soft-spoken authority on teaching poor children, who talked sense about teacher training and preschool education (TIME, Nov. 2). Riles became the first black ever elected to statewide office in California...
