SMOKEY, 17, like most leaders of gangs, is alert, intelligent. "People don't understand," he says. "I would much rather not bop. It isn't any fun. You don't know what will happen. You may be killed. Or you may kill someone. Would you think it funny if I said that my real ambition was to become a policeman...
Still worse is the fact that, as Salisbury says, "for most New Yorkers, the problem of delinquency does not seem to be immediate or personal."* One who knows the problem from all sides is a 23-year-old (now married) former gang member named Stoney. Says he: "We older fellows -we've got to go cool. But those little ones coming up. They're the real problem. Something's got to be done about them, or I don't know where we'll be at."

The tribalists still dominate the Lukiko (Buganda's Parliament). On one pretext or another, Freddie's supporters went after the leaders of those newfangled political parties with their talk of popular elections. They ousted two party presidents from the Lukiko, even had National Congress Party Chairman Joseph Kiwanuka tossed into jail on the charge that he was plotting to assassinate the King. Last month the Lukiko...
