A Mau Mauist organization known as Any a Nya (Scorpion), armed with Communist machine guns smuggled in originally for Congolese Simbas and reinforced by fugitive Simbas, ambushes Arab patrols, murders suspected Arab sympathizers, and spreads havoc through most of the countryside.

It is up to Latin American governments, said Javits, to do more to improve the climate for business. The private sector actually accounts for 70% of all economic activity in Latin America.

Despite her handsome bearing, when she opens her enough what comes out is dull, thus reducing the Dean's patron (and former pupil) to a dramatic nonentity, Kathrya Schoes (Cora Jenks) commits the converse sin of unmitigated shricking...
