...group of black and white voters at the close of the country's historic ten-week election campaign. His vision of his violence-racked land's future was important, for he is soon to become the first black Prime Minister of Rhodesia, or Zimbabwe-Rhodesia as it is henceforth to be known. Last week voting for the first time on the basis of a universal balloting, the country's black population elected 72 members of a new parliament; the other 28 seats had been filled by white balloting a week earlier. The elections were strong ly promoted by Muzorewa, outgoing...
...authorities denounced "muddled ideas and unhealthy trends" among "some young people." In Henan (Honan), the Provincial Revolutionary Committee decreed a "total ban" on posters and other publications that criticized socialism, Communist Party leadership or Mao Tse-tung's thought.

He ordered Justice Minister Assadollah Mobasheri to repeal all laws that "contravene Islam." Henceforth, all trials must end "in a final, absolute decision in a single phase." The right of women to seek divorces, established by a 1975 law enacted under the Shah, would be repealed. Corporal punishments, such as flogging for theft or drinking, would be reinstituted. Said a disappointed young female university graduate...
Party Chief Enrico Berlinguer and other Communist leaders insisted that henceforth they would settle for nothing less than "a presence in the government"-meaning seats in a future Cabinet. Berlinguer's position was that he had earned few benefits from a tacit collaboration with the Christian Democrats. Indeed, the Communists complained that they had been blamed for unpopular government decisions without having gained any real power...
