...hand labored in the parched and infertile fields of Dodoma, the most impoverished province of African Tanzania. Uncomplaining, he hacked at the dry soil with a primitive hoe, guided a plough drawn by oxen, picked ears of maize, ate the local diet and slept in a native hut. Julius Nyerere, 48, Tanzania's President, was making an earnest attempt to measure at first hand the depths of his country's need, and to promote Ujaama (community villages), the self-help principle through which he hopes to assist Tanzania in alleviating its poverty...

Julius Hobson, a local black militant, claims that many D.C. cops are as harsh as ever to the black and the poor?except that "they are more clever than they used to be and usually hold back if there are cameras around."

Small wonder, then, that the government frowned on a visit by "Miss World," Austria's Eva Reuber-Staier. "A society which annually parades its women like cattle to award them prizes," puffed a government newspaper, is "alien to our culture and sense of dignity." Purred Eva: "I am very sorry not to be going to Tanzania. I hear it's a wonderful country -with some very handsome cattle...
