...Amin Dada had a vision that told him some day he would be ruler of all Uganda. It was an accurate prediction. Last month General Amin, now 44, celebrated the first anniversary of his accession to Uganda's presidency after leading a coup that ousted the demagogic Milton Obote. There was a massive parade through the streets of Kampala, Uganda's capital, which featured a band in kilts and busbies marching to the skirl of bagpipes and sinuous dances by women from the Karamoja area dressed in colorful bras and wood-bark skirts. In all, more than...
...engineering at M.I.T. He and his wife, Sandra Young, an Iowa farm girl, had two sons: Robert, born in 1929, and William, born in 1931 and now an English professor at the University of Michigan. The family lived a comfortable, bookish and musical life in the Boston suburb of Milton, and both boys were bright enough to go to Boston Latin School and Harvard.

Fourteen per cent of this take-home pay ($619) goes to property taxes, while McGovern claims that persons in Milton, Lexington and Concord pay only two per cent of this figure and get better schools...
Narrative Gift. On his show, as well as on his records, Flip Wilson spins out these impersonations in anecdotes, not one-liners. His gift is for dialect and narrative, not gags. The laugh track of a Bob Hope or a Milton Berle is a crescendo to climactic punch lines. Flip's graph would be all hills and valleys, zigs and zags. He puts his material over gently, through sheer likability-and considerable body English. Though only 5 ft. 6 in., he has an amazingly elastic physical grace, and a repertory of motions that recalls the masters of silent movie...
