...Godwin Lewanika, 65, who succeeded to the throne in 1968, is the ceremonial leader of Zambia's 300,000 Lozis.

A former mine clerk and union organizer, Lewanika twice a year leads one of Africa's most impressive ceremonies-the journey of the Lozis from the 4,000-sq.-mi. flood plain (where they farm and fish from July to March) to the higher lands at the forest...

Galileo's 17th century use of the telescope to study the heavens spawned a host of moon stories. The Man in the Moone, written by Francis Godwin, Bishop of Llandoff, and published in 1638, offered a hero who was carried to his destination on a frail raft pulled by swans. Unaware of the vacuum in space, the traveler had no difficulty breathing on the trip, but he did find that his weight lessened as he left the earth. That remarkable scientific insight by Godwin preceded Newton's discovery of the laws of gravity by many years...
