Just Plain Doctor. The reason for Nkrumah's move was not displeasure but competition. Even in Ghana, readers prefer news to propaganda, and even in Nkrumah's Ghana, readers still have a choice. The Daily Graphic, which is owned by London's Daily Mirror group, almost never calls Nkrumah Osagyefo; he is usually "the President" or "Dr. Nkrumah"-a reference to his honorary LL.D. from Pennsylvania's Lincoln University.

They would also indicate the general form a city's development should take, be asserted...
During his first two lectures I thought he was showing, in an admirably graphic way, that scientists making decisions are no different from other people making decisions. They act as men rather than as professionals, and they choose on the basis of sudden hatreds and loves, factional loyalties, and personal tastes. I was therefore surprised when he concluded his last lecture with a plea for more scientists at the top levels of our government. Although I might agree, it just didn't seem to follow...
