Many feel that Christianity's greatest handicap in Africa is its record of tolerating segregation, notably in South Africa. Two such sworn enemies as South Africa's Premier Hendrik Verwoerd and Cape Town's Anglican Archbishop Joost de Blank agree that a crisis is at hand for Christianity on the continent.

Sliding & Slipstreaming. Moss's own perfectionism is his greatest handicap, argues the London Daily Express's Basil Cardew, forcing him "to exact more from a car, because he makes it go faster, than possibly anyone we have known in the past."

He lay in bed for six weeks after the night in 1956 when a thug, hired by labor racketeers whom Riesel had been writing about, threw six ounces of acid in his eyes. All the while, he vowed to get back to his office and on the job. "They knocked me out for six weeks," he says of his enemies. "And that...
