Little Unrest. It seemed a pointless killing. Shermarke had gained a mild reputation abroad as a troublemaker when he served as the nation's first Prime Minister between 1960 and 1964, largely because of his efforts to obtain sovereignty over those parts of northern Kenya and eastern Ethiopia roamed by Somali nomads. His domestic policies, however, had produced little unrest. After a three-year period out of office, he was elected President in 1967.

The exchange in New Orleans, from which clipper ships braved Northern blockades during the Civil War, closed in 1964 and is now a dusty, rotting building. The Galveston and Charleston exchanges shut down last year. Next to go, most likely, will be Houston's, which sold only 100,000 bales in 1968. There is little left for its score of traders to speculate upon -except the question of how long the exchange will...
