Mboya is firmly committed to a land-reform program that would split up the idle portions of large estates, but not to the wholesale expulsion of Europeans from the 12,700 sq. mi. of white highlands. "We must treat land as a national asset, encourage African ownership and cooperatives where necessary. We hope to acquire the land voluntarily-and pay fair value," he says, but he opposes specific constitutional guarantees to protect the minority whites. A strong bill of rights, he insists, is all that is needed: "Either people trust us that we are sincere or there is very little...
There was not a scintilla of hard evidence to indicate what a submarine would be doing prowling around the desolate Patagonian coast or to suggest its nationality, except that the U.S. and British Ambassadors promptly disclaimed ownership. Sonar can confuse submarines with whales, old wrecks, even underseas prominences. Most of the world still waited for the Argentine navy to produce a real-life submarine. If it does, the reward may be the biggest appropriations...
First Finch. The prosecution's Finch, as depicted in the case built by Deputy District Attorney Fred Whichello, was an immoral, sinister schemer. Though the doctor was enormously successful (part ownership of a thriving clinic, income of about $200,000 a year, a $50,000 home in the fancy Los Angeles suburb of West Covina, a 22-ft. speedboat, three cars), his marriage to Barbara was a dismal failure.

The station's program is crowded with excellent music, also makes room for viewpoints that would make many a network executive's brush cut burst into flame...
Where Black got that much ready cash is partly explained by a comfortable business transaction that he made in 1958. Black converted Chock Full O' Nuts from private ownership to public by selling 400,000 shares of the 720,000 he owned (out of 800,000 outstanding) at $15 a share. After taxes and brokers' fees, he cleared a neat $3,800,000. He still owns 33-5% of the stock, which was listed last week on the New York Stock Exchange at $46.50 a share. In his philanthropy, Black shows no less financial hustle. The one string...
