...Boston against Louise Day Hicks. It was a classic race of the '60s, with White as the John Lindsay-type liberal and Hicks as the ogre who proclaimed about the race issue, "You know where I stand." Samuel P. Huntington, Thompson Professor of Government and White's Beacon Hill neighbor, recruited Frank for White's campaign. White won and Frank stayed on at City Hall as his administrative assistant, a position reserved for whiz-kids. After three years, he says, he was "just worn-out" and Frank came back to Harvard to try to finish his doctoral dissertation. He soon...
...Carter of Egypt's need to buy "defensive" weapons, mainly antitank missiles and some F-5 fighter planes. Presumably, he will point out that since he kicked the Soviet technicians out of Egypt five years ago, the Russians have sold $1.5 billion in sophisticated weaponry to his unfriendly neighbor, Libyan Strongman Muammar Gaddafi. Although the U.S. now provides Egypt with about $900 million a year in aid (second only to what it gives Israel), its only previous military sale to Egypt consisted of six C-130 transports ordered last year...

One morning before the other villagers are awake, to avoid detection, the secret worshipers will steal down to the bank of the Zezere River.

Asked if that means neighbor should watch neighbor, his answer is a terse...
Another destabilizing burst of violence came last week in Brazzaville, capital of Zaïre's stridently Marxist neighbor, the People's Republic of the Congo. There an unidentified group of men burst into National Popular Army staff headquarters and gunned down President Marien Ngouabi. A pudgy French-trained army major who survived several previous attempts on his life, Ngouabi, 38, was long a bitter enemy of Zaïre's Mobutu. His tiny (pop. 1.3 million), dirt-poor country has enjoyed Soviet patronage for years, and its airport served in 1975 as a convenient refueling point...
