Nigeria's biggest malady, of course, has been the regionalism and tribal power blocs that always set one section of the country against another. To help knit Nigeria's parts into a whole, Ironsi abolished the old federation last week, substituted the "Republic of Nigeria," even decreed that "no reference to tribe or place of origin will appear in any official documents." In case anyone missed the point, he also banned the country's 107 political parties and tribal associations and prohibited the formation of new ones until he leaves power. Any of the dispossessed...

...order to propel his close-knit cast through a long, fragmentized narrative, Director Lumet has to bob around a good deal, ticker-taping a chatty alumnae newsletter across the screen like subtitles in a foreign movie, sometimes cutting from character to character as though he were taking an opinion poll.

Porgie Cassini, Columnist Igor's beagle, showed the crowd a few pointers in a $10 tight-fitting white knit turtleneck. Rufus Cass, a Cavalier King Spaniel owned by Comedienne Peggy Cass (To Tell the Truth), trotted out in a snappy Garbo trench coat and green velvet beret designed for Special Farces. Mimi and Camille Henderson, Skitch's miniature poodles, sported twin $150 red mole coats that were belted at the waist, and Buffee Gore...
