...volleyball is something old men play at Grossinger's. But it was on the Olympic program last week, and it's a good thing Japan did not send her women off to war. Led by Captain Masae Kasai, 31, who broke her engagement to train for the Olympics, punctuating every shot with banzai choruses of "Hai! Hail", the Japanese women's team beat Russia so badly in the finals that the Muscovite ladies shut themselves in the locker room for a good...
Crossed Branches. Tshombe was determined to use Gizenga, and his considerable left-wing following, in his efforts to unify the Congo. Without giving Gizenga even enough time to shave, Tshombe put him into the back seat of a white Impala convertible. He also grabbed the onetime God-Emperor of Kasai province, Albert Kalonji, now Tshombe's Agriculture Minister, and set forth on a triumphant tour of Leopoldville's African quarter. For 21 hours, thousands of Congolese paid screaming homage to the unlikely trio, who as bitter rivals had once led the Congo's most ruinous major rebellions...
...government he produced last week was hardly reconciled. Tshombe himself described it as one of mere "public salvation," and the few names recognizable within it were more notorious than noteworthy: as Agriculture Minister he chose Kasai's Mulopwe (god-emperor) Albert Kalonji, a secessionist right-winger who is still formally charged by Adoula's government with torturing political prisoners. The new Health Minister is none other than Andre´ Lubaya, a key official in the Communist-backed National Liberation Committee, which runs the Congo's endemic provincial rebellions. Recognizing the dangers of giving more portfolios to potential...
Wooed back to the Congo, Tshombe claimed the allegiance of every major faction. Wheeling and dealing as if every card were a wild deuce, Tshombe seemed to hold a royal flush ranging from Kasai's rightist "King" Albert Kalonji through such "moderate" face cards as Army Boss Joseph Mobutu and Justice Minister Justin Bomboko to the Communist-backed National Lib eration Committee's Andre Lubaya. But the N.L.C. could still prove a joker in Tshombe's hand: Leftist Antoine Gizenga still languished in forced exile last week on an island at the mouth of the Congo River...
...hope was reconciliation with the dissident elements that rack the land. Adoula apparently agreed, however reluctantly. As a trial balloon, he permitted his secretary-general to call openly for the liberation of long-imprisoned Leftist Antoine Gizenga, and amnesty for Rightist Albert Kalonji, onetime Mulopwe (god-emperor) of south Kasai...
