...merger is important for United Artists too. Chairman Robert S. Benjamin and President Arthur B. Krim, who form a kind of Alphonse-and-Gaston partnership, in 15 years have sponsored one of the most remarkable comebacks in show business. Organized in 1919 by Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Charlie Chaplin and D. W. Griffith, United was losing $100,000 a week by 1951.

Trouble All Over. Occupying expensive apartments and frequenting nightclubs and bars, the rival Simbas began accusing one another of living it up on revolutionary funds. Attempts by Nasser to bring them together only drove them further apart. Rebel Defense Minister Gaston Soumialot announced that he had deposed Gbenye, who retorted angrily that he was undeposable. From his exile quarters in the Sudan, People's Army Commander Nicho'as Olenga renounced them both, claimed that he alone spoke for the revolution-until last month, when the Khartoum government charged that he had been conspiring with the Sudan...
