Stewardess Lari Hamel was knocked to the floor in the first-class aisle and four or five bodies fell on top of her; she managed to crawl to a wing exit and escape. In the rear of the plane, one passenger saw a guerrilla appear, gun in hand, and stop passengers from escaping out the rear ramp...
Rise to the Top. Habitually clad in a cassock often topped by a Homburg, and said to have carried a pistol in his robes, Youlou at 46 was one of the world's most unusual statesmen. A member of the Lari tribe-his name means "fetish which cannot be grasped" -he was reared by Catholic missionaries and in 1946 ordained a priest.

Because of his suspension, he was acclaimed...

Last week, scenting danger to Suez, British Colonial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton flew to Nairobi to see for himself how seriously the Mau Mau terror has jeopardized Kenya's security. He stalked through the ruins of Lari village, where the Mau Mau massacred 300-odd sleeping Kikuyu (TIME, April 6), and later reconnoitered Mau Mau strongholds from a light spotter plane. "We are being outmaneuvered and outflanked," a British officer told...
