On hand for the twelve days of merrymaking were the Presidents of four neighboring states. So were some 80 former colonial civil servants whom Nyerere brought from London aboard a chartered VC10-in keeping with a promise he had made in 1961 -to see what the country had accomplished in its first decade of iihurii (freedom).

He has no plans to accept the invitations he has received to speak about the Chicago Seven...
From New York, Julius Rudel tried to coax Beverly back to work with chatty "Dear Bubbela" letters. Finally he wrote more formally, pointing out that she still had a contract. "I told her to go back," says Peter. "I said it would be good therapy." Reluctantly, Beverly complied. Muffy was making progress anyway, learning to lip-read and talk. Bucky, however, was a hopeless case. When he was six, Beverly made the excruciating decision to put him in the same institution in Massachusetts where Peter's retarded daughter was already lodged. On the same day, she sang all three heroines...
