...page constitution that Obote shepherded through his compliant Parliament makes him the head of government, chief of state and commander in chief, provides that the President is "not bound to follow the advice of any person or authority." It deposes the bespangled kings who since independence have had considerable powers to govern their own kingdoms in a federal system. For purposes of governing, it breaks the country up into 18 districts, slicing the largest and most recalcitrant of the kingdoms-Buganda-into four pieces...

In an 88-page report recently translated into English at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., Russian scientists say that they can suppress hail over large areas by firing antiaircraft shells into hail-producing clouds...
