...last week paunchy Earl sprang plans for a brazen circumvention: he will 1) resign as Governor just before the Sept. 15 qualifying deadline, 2) turn over his office to loyal Lieutenant Governor Lether Frazar, 3) campaign for a new term as Frazar's successor-and thus, as even head-scratching lawyers had to acknowledge, technically avoid the constitutional ban on succeeding himself...
...under way in the Bong Mountains. But even larger than these-larger, in fact, than any other private venture in Africa on which work is already under way-is a $200 million Swedish-American project to mine the Nimba range. To get test-drilling equipment in, men had to head-carry 90 tons of materials up eight miles of mountain trails through dense forests of mahogany and ironwood.

Thus made to appear as a statesman instead of a pol, Pennsylvania's Lawrence sought out Photographer Vathis. "Accept...
...homemade runabout with steel wool, oblivious to neighborly wisecracks ("Where you gonna get two of every animal, Henry?"). At Cleveland's Yachting Club, a big woman in small slacks mounts the ladder of a cruiser, hoists a heavy box of tools, inches into the cabin to repair the head...
