...would thus have an excuse to invade. The "Red Execution Theory," pushed by Right-Wing Intellectual Revilo P. Oliver, has it that Oswald was ordered by Moscow to shoot Kennedy because the President had been a Communist but was threatening to "turn American." The "Evil-Forces Theory," favored by Mali Foreign Minister Ous-man Ba, links the death of Kennedy, Patrice Lumumba and Dag Hammarskjöld with "forces behind the U.S.Belgian rescue operation in the Congo...
...Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (he isn't). Mansfield and his operatives have tracked everything from 24 million bushels of U.S. wheat diverted from Austria and sold on European markets ($800,000 in settlements has been recovered) to 3,600 pairs of U.S.-supplied boots found moldering in a Mali warehouse because local American officials groundlessly thought them too small for Malian feet (the footwear was issued to the country's soldiers...

Mauritania, for example, is practically a movable country, whose Moorish nomads wander after water in passportless circles through neighboring Mali and Algeria. Since every country must have a capital, Mauritania had to build one from scratch: Nouakchott (pop. 8,000), a clump of pastel cubes on a bleak stretch of sand dunes near the coast. In Laos, there are so few trained government elite-about 100 in all-that Cabinet making is essentially a game of musical chairs. Ethnic vivisection abounds nearly everywhere. The Somali peoples...
