...drop in and chat, Wife Djainila could stay overnight, and negotiators from Strongman Colonel Houari Boumedienne stopped by to ask if Aït Ahmed wouldn't agree to support the new regime. All to no avail. One night last week, when Djamila, other relatives, and neighbors trooped homeward, the group also included an extra, heavily cloaked figure in a Moslem woman's head-to-foot white haik. Friendly guards looked the other way. Before Boumedienne got the word several hours later, Aït Ahmed had been whisked to the coast ten miles away...

Night club shows end earlier, threeisn, a fine time for a walking tour of midtown. By five the bartenders are wending homeward, and pigeons strut unchallenged down Park Avenue. Head over to Fulton Street Market and have an-early seafood breakfast with rubber-booted fishermen at Sloppy Louie's (92 South Street). By six the early commuters are pushing in on the subways and Broadway is alive again. It's a melancholy...
...Britain's Queen Elizabeth II flew homeward across the Atlantic last week, rumors blazed through Canada that she would never return. London quickly and flatly denied such talk. "She is Queen in Canada and of Canada," said one official, "and she will share her country's trials and tribulations as well as its joys...
