Ben Bella began last week's days of crisis late Sunday evening with the announcement from his headquarters at Tlemcen, near the Moroccan border, that he had formed a seven-man politburo that would oust the "usurpers" of the provisional government (G.P.R.A.) from power and run the country until the formation of a constituent assembly.

...better now that he has added the Music Hall, which cost him $600,000 to renovate. Along with movies, the big theater is booked for the Bolshoi Ballet this winter, the Metropolitan Opera in the spring, and will be rented out to Boston firms for sales meetings. "What the hell do I care what they do there in the morning?" says Sack. "I want it filled all day long...
