...distant peril was in Angola, that sleeping Portuguese colony that thought itself most immune to Africa's winds of change. Correspondents Robert Morse and James Burke were among the reporters who decided to stay around Angola after the high-seas adventure of the Santa Maria story ended. They were thus on hand to report Angola's worst racial flare-ups, in which nearly 40 were killed (see FOREIGN NEWS). Some of the perils of reporting Angola last week: one reporter critically injured; four expelled, and the films made by all cameramen (including Burke) mysteriously tampered with in Lisbon...
Reporters hustled to Portugal's torpid African colony of Angola last month in the belief that it was the destination of the cruise ship Santa Maria, seized by Portuguese Rebel Henrique Galvão and his 28 men. When the captured ship was tamely interned at Recife in Brazil, many reporters went back to their normal posts, but seven stayed on in Angola to see what they could...
Governor General Alvaro da Silva Tavares was proud of the unruffled calm displayed by his larger-than-Texas colony. In his chandelier-hung office in the capital city of Luanda, he told the few remaining reporters that the Santa Maria incident had united his people as never before.

He supplements his close, detailed examination of a sensibly limited number of texts with some attention to medieval plays and ballads, many minor writers, and extra-literary phenomena such as social and political changes...
...process of vilifying the Jews and then guiltily meting them out a kind of justice is exemplified in the novels of Maria Edgeworth. "Having impressed her readers with her ability to manipulate the stereotype of the Jewvillain and having informed them some six times over that Jews were frauds, usurers, poisoners, perjurers, trators, parasites on the national economy, threats to the body politic, and violators of young boys, Edgeworth decided to take it all back and Harrington." (Prominent Jewish matrons seem to have taken an active hand in helping the process along. Miss Edgeworth received a complaint about her illiberality...
