...Government." As for Anguilla itself, the provisional government wants to "explore with Britain the legal arrangements that might be appropriate for the future"-meaning, presumably, a return to the Commonwealth as an in dependent state. At week's end, Adams flew to New York on a fund-raising mission and announced that he even hopes to confer with President Johnson in Washington. One further hint of the island's thinking: its new national anthem has been set to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic...
Behind this growing body of pro-recipient decisions is a band of concerned lawyers paid by the federal poverty program.

Buried somewhere in Africa is a valid idea. Far-sighted ranchers are indeed beginning to breed wildlife as a partial answer to the world's dwindling food supply. Tors, a director of the World Wildlife Fund, obviously hoped to make a film that would entertain as well as in struct. This one does neither. Africa-Texas Style! has not enough of the real Africa, less of Texas, and no style at all. It patronizes the natives, shows the beasts in badly edited shots that unconvincingly mix footage of wild lions and tame humans. Tors has even included the ancient...
