...Lagos, Mboya's meeting drew union leaders from 29 countries. Nkrumah's affair was a flop, with officially accredited delegates only from Guinea, Morocco and the United Arab Republic. "I have no quarrel with Nkrumah," Mboya insisted last week, but it was no secret that he strongly dislikes the way Nkrumah runs his unions, i.e., as a government department and as instruments of government power.

In the Meknes slums, whole families hobbled about on canes. "There are 10,000 people paralyzed," cried Morocco's Health Minister Youssef...
...poison that had caused the paralysis could be traced, in a way, back to the U.S. Air Force, but even leftist critics, who have been successful in forcing the U.S. to abandon its $500 million complex of bases in Morocco, were hesitant about putting the blame on the Americans.
