...articles by Cambridge 38 staff members finally deserve recognition. Thomas Bethell surveys the series of faux pas and unfortunate incidents marring recent African-American relations, a justly critical survey with some well-considered (though hardly original) conclusions. Simon Lazarus strings together a number of quotations concerning the Peace Corps, intended to emphasize the inherent limitations of the Corps.

Again a check by Willie's competitors demolished his scoop: an inspection by a Belgian doctor found Lumumba under rigorous confinement in a Congolese army camp but with his fingers intact. But at week's end, despite outraged rumblings from the Congolese government, Willie Lazarus was sticking to his story. Said he: "I can't prove it, but I still believe...
