...countries saw fit to send representatives. Jordan's Hussein was there, and so was Syria's head of state, Noureddine Atassi. Iraq sent only a Deputy Premier because of its quarrel with Syria over the true interpretation of Baathist socialism, but Sudan sent its new ruler, Major General Jaafar Nimeiry. The oil-soaked Kuwaitis, Saudis and Libyans, who already donate $378 million a year to war-damaged Egypt and Jordan, stayed away, lest they be touched for even bigger donations. Sure enough, the leaders at the mini-summit made a blunt demand for more money, declaring that "present...
...which kept in office and all, amazingly, seemed to obey. Only one name was given prominence in connection with the coup-Colonel Saaduddin Abu Shweirib, who was made the army's new Chief of Staff.

In a climax to three days of acrimonious debate at the Episcopal Church's Special General Convention, the delegates reversed an earlier decision and voted (404 to 222) to provide $200,000 to the moderate National Committee of Black Churchmen. In taking the action, delegates knew that the money was intended eventually to reach the coffers of James Forman's Black Economic Development Conference. The Episcopal Church thus became the first major denomination to recognize-however indirectly-the "reparation" demands enunciated in Forman's Black Manifesto (TIME, May 16). Even this did not quite...
