Need a ride home??for the holidays? Hitchhiking may have fallen out of favor, but a new form of ride sharing has emerged to replace it on--where else?--the Web.

In what amounts to a new scramble for the continent, the Russians and the Cubans have been devising their own rules for the game of African political influence. To offset such influence in so fragile a setting, the U.S. and its allies must do some contingency planning of their...
