...give Richard better than even odds on success. There has been little progress toward a Rhodesian settlement since last fall, when Kissinger's whirlwind mission established the fragile basis for talks in Geneva between Prime Minister Ian Smith's white-dominated regime and four black nationalist leaders-Joshua Nkomo, Robert Mugabe, Bishop Abel Muzorewa and the Rev.
