French flag still flies over the gates. The rising opposition of young Moslem activists in Morocco found the U.S. bases a convenient weapon to use against King Mohammed V's moderate regime. "Aggression and exploitation," cried a Moroccan trade-union weekly. Egged on by extremists, the Moroccan government forbade U.S. ships to land gear, even set up roadblocks near the Atlantic coast in case U.S. ships should try sneak unloading of trailer trucks...
Tasseled Umbrella. Nkrumah has moved more cautiously, but just as effectively, against the nation's No. 1 chieftain, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh II, the Asantehene or King of the Ashanti.

Chatô himself is the most generous giver, but seems almost ashamed to admit that he ever had to reach into his own pocket. Says Director Bardi: "This is the first...
...vicar of a London church during the World War II blitz, Phillips discovered why it was so hard to get the rudiments of Christianity across to the young people of his parish: the King James version of the Bible was a foreign language to them. So he began to translate it himself into the kind of talk they could understand. His first section, the Epistles, so delighted Oxford's C. S. (The Screwtape Letters) Lewis that he wrote an introduction for it and supplied the title: Letters to Young Churches (it sold more than a million copies...
