...states show per capita incomes as low as $17 a year, giving the group as a whole less purchasing power than New York State. Yet for all its obstacles, the O.A.U. in its short lifetime has a number of successes to its credit. It skill fully mediated the Algerian-Moroccan border war and cooled down the fighting between Ethiopia and Somalia on Africa's hot, dry eastern horn. Somalia likewise stopped its border skirmishing with Kenya-officially at least-and is now negotiating both disputes under O.A.U. auspices...

...small manufacturing companies drawn to the Virgins since 1957 by a favorable tariff concession: merchandise moves into the U.S. duty-free if 50% of the cost of processing it was spent in the islands.

The Algerians later claimed that the agreement called for the Moroccans to evacuate the two small desert oases where the fighting began; the Moroccans hotly denied...
Equally Ugly. No sooner had the two rulers left the balmy atmosphere of Bamako than their feud broke out all over again. In Rabat, where Hassan was greeted like a conquering hero by 1,000 warriors on horseback, the Moroccan government broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba and recalled its ambassadors to Egypt and Syria because of their "extremely hostile attitude." Some 350 Egyptian teachers in Morocco were told to pack up and return home. In Algiers the mood was equally ugly. Although both sides had agreed to end their exchange of virulent propaganda, Ben Bella warned Hassan...
