...mood was set by a shockingly savage act committed in the Rhodesian village of Musami, some 40 miles northeast of Salisbury. On Sunday evening, a dozen black guerrillas in battle dress descended on St. Paul's Mission School, hastily rounded up eight white priests and nuns and murdered seven of them in a nearby ditch with two automatic rifles and a light machine gun. The eighth missionary survived by allowing his body to fall alongside those of his dead and dying friends. "It was." said soft-spoken Father Dunstan Myerscough, 65.

...shortage of natural gas that has closed factories and schools throughout the Northeast and Midwest is only the most visible and urgent symptom of the nation's energy crisis. Oil imports continue to hover at a record 44% of the nation's supply-a dangerous dependence on foreign producers that "has got to stop," as President Carter put it at his news conference last week.

This village is ready to be progovernment." Heavily guarded government teams are also hacking out roads through the forested valleys of the northeast to bring goods from remote villages to market-and allow troops easy access for anti-guerrilla raids. In one of the heaviest such engagements, a Thai-Malaysian force of 4,000 troops-the first cooperative effort of this kind-is waging a joint campaign backed by heavy air and artillery...
