...Christina was docked again last week at the grey-green isle of Skorpiós, and the principal figures were the same?Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and Aristotle Socrates Onassis. This time they were the center of rapt international attention. From practically every capital and every level of society, the guests and members of the wedding came, by jetliner, shuttle plane and helicopter, to the mountainous island in the sunny Ionian Sea. From Holland an elaborate airlift brought in mountains of tulips, and lemon buds to be woven into garlands for the bridal pair. From the mainland came Father Polykarpos Athanassion, pastor...

It is not the land, either, for they seem to have no eyes for the green rolling infinity of the African bush, the visionary sunsets, the humming, warm, smoky nights. They are lobos, outcasts from society who fight every day in order to taste the excitement that comes in living close to violent death. If they survive Biafra, they will doubtless drift on in search...
