...another round in the bloodletting. Last week it began. "War, as everybody knows, is a necessary evil," proclaimed a Nigerian government newspaper, the Morning Post, in its "Teachings of Islam" column. Thus, with resignation, federal government forces led by Major General Yakubu Gowon, 32, rolled out of the lush green hills of the Northern region to attack Nigeria's secessionist Eastern region, which now calls itself Biafra. Gowon's aim: "A short, surgical police action" to crush the rebellion led by Lieut. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu...

...courtyards were missing. Instead, singers in vaguely funereal costume drifted through bare spaces that seemed to recede into infinities of aquamarine. Massive bands of grey rock jutted around and above them.

...M.I.T. professors. They mill around the closed-circuit TVs. The long rows of betting windows, the hot dog and beer stands.

...style of the ancient sorcerers, the Kaleidoscope pavilion does it all with mirrors. To the accompaniment of mind-bending, discothquè-loud cacophony, reflections of colors burst and bleed like paint blended in a mixer; flowers open in the sun, firecrackers explode, seagulls turn red against a green sky. A violent visual punhouse, Kaleidoscope is the medium, the message and the massage. It is probably as near as most viewers will get to a psychedelic trip; for most, it will be close enough for discomfort...
