...antipoverty grants. Since New Year's, the feud between California's Black Panthers and Ron Karenga's US has left three dead and five wounded. In New York City, where Black Muslims and various splinter organizations compete, a former bodyguard for Malcolm X, Charles 37X Kenyatta, was critically wounded this month.

A graduate of a South Dakota Presbyterian college, Kairo put in two years as President Kenyatta's private secretary before staking $17,000 in receipts from his 300-acre cattle, maize and sheep farm to start Kenya's first African-owned safari operation. Kairo's safaris, however, are not designed for big-game hunting. Equipped with five Volkswagen minibuses, he takes his clients...
