...hapless Chinese people caught in Mao Tse-tung's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, there was no sign of relief from the political convulsions that gripped the nation. If anything, the purge was likely to grow more intensive. A new list of the top leaders announced by Radio Peking signaled the downfall of some, the rise of others. The highest riser: Defense Minister Lin Piao...
Gold & Ostriches. South Africa is a land of bright sun and haunting beauty. Fine wine grapes grow in the protected valleys in the southwest, while elephant, rhino and springbok range the high savanna of Kruger National Park in the northeast. Ostrich farms dot the harsh, baked landscape beneath the kopjes (flat-topped hills) of the Great Karroo, where two centuries ago Dutch trekboers lived in small nomadic communi ties. South of the Kalahari Desert is the high veld, a great, green, grassy plateau where cattle and sheep graze in endless herds. On the Indian Ocean's shore...
...Tourists grow weary of being told that something, as Inga Svensson puts it, "is the tallest or the biggest in the world."

Now head trainer for the Phipps family (Millionaire Sportsman Ogden Phipps, his son Dinny Phipps and his mother Mrs. H. C. Phipps), Neloy, 45, is the most successful conditioner of thoroughbred race horses...
...world will be an infinitely safer place when the self-conscious Soviets grow up enough to accept genuine criticism. That they have not done so is amply documented in this transcript of the trial last February of two Russian "underground" writers accused of slandering the Soviet system (TIME, Feb. 18). Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel, both 40 and both widely read, had been smuggling pseudonymous manuscripts to the West since 1956 under the names Abram Tertz and Nikolai Arzhak. When the KGB arrested them last fall, the world expected a quick, quiet, Stalinesque show trial, in which the pair would...
