...lived in exile in Tanzania ever since. Obote has remained there since Amin's overthrow, presumably because Lule and his colleagues felt that the ex-President's presence would have a disruptive effect on the new government. A week ago, Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere, godfather of sorts to the new regime in Kampala, called its leaders to Tanzania to talk over their differences. One result of the meeting is that Obote is apparently free, with Lule's approval, to return to Uganda and take part in rebuilding the country...
Yusufu Lule, President of the Ugan-ts dan provisional government that was sworn in on Friday, is a former chancellor of Uganda's Makerere University who had been living in exile in London for several years. His government is strongly supported by Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere, who organized the invasion effort after Amin seized and occupied some 700 sq. mi. of Tanzanian territory six months ago. Since Nyerere's troops did most of the fighting, the fall of Kampala marked the first successful invasion by one African country of another since the end of colonialism...

He had hoped that the invasion would lead to a spontaneous uprising of disaffected Ugandans, both military and civilian, that would then become a war of national liberation...
City Opera has done well by Argento. Set Designer John Conklin's haunted house is properly spooky, and the opera's shifts in time and mood are made decisive by Gilbert Hemsley's lighting. Conductor Julius Rudel kept things going so smoothly one almost forgot that this was a world premiere, the first time for everyone. For Rita Shane there can be only praise. Her acting was fiery, her singing confident, if uneven. It is hard to think of anyone, including Sills, who could have truly commanded the part. Miss Havisham's Fire burns a long...
With her pleas, she saves Rome and delivers Coriolanus to his doom. The look of ashen grief frozen on Foster's face at that moment is desolating. Running in repertory with Julius Caesar, Coriolanus makes an auspicious seasonal debut for this new Black-Hispanic troupe. -T.E. Kalem
