...protests will probably prove fruitless. The exclusion was a victory for Kao Liang, 47, the smiling public relations chief of Peking's delegation, who was once a Hsinhua correspondent himself.

Long rumored to be more of an intelligence operative than a reporter (TIME, Nov. 22), Kao lost his accreditation to India in 1960 because of "biased reporting." Not surprisingly, he scooped Western correspondents by a full 48 hours on a pro-Peking coup in Zanzibar in 1964. A year later, while still nominally a newsman...

Last week, at diamond-rich Kao, rebels reportedly hurled boulders down on a police convoy. In retaliation, the police commandeered light aircraft from Lesotho Airways (a tiny air-taxi operation owned by the government) and, in a throwback to the aerial tactics of 1914, dumped hand grenades on the rebels. Total rebel losses since the fighting began are put at 150; the police admit that two lawmen have been killed and several more wounded...
