...doubting the passion of the rebels. "There will be no solution until the Arabs leave the south," said one leader. "We have nothing more to lose, so we will fight on to the end." Said another: "I know the West believes peace will come when there is a good leader in Northern Sudan. But this is not true." Nobody knows, because Khartoum has not had a truly effective leader since independence. Whether Nimeri fits that description remains to be seen. Right now, his government is lavishing attention on the Communist governments of Eastern Europe in an effort to establish...
Freedom Shirts. A leftist-oriented demagogue, Kapwepwe heads Zambia's powerful grouping of Bemba tribes, which account for a fourth of the country's 4,000,000 population and a good part of its bitter tribal rivalry.

He enjoyed his best season in 1966, winning twelve and losing seven for the Auburn, N.Y., Mets. But his performance in New York was all that mattered...
...unfair, unreasonable, unfeeling, incapable of handling men, stubborn, holier-than-thou and ice-cold." But the Mets seem to hold an altogether different view. Koosman sums up the team's attitude: "Hodges is one hell of a leader. He always has time to talk to you, he has a good sense of humor, and if he's distant, it's because he never wants to embarrass himself or the team.
