Ugly Little Bill. What Kwame Nkrumah really discovered, when he got back home from his heady talks with Nikita Khrushchev and his glittering attendance at the Belgrade parley of the neutralist nonbloc, was the looming failure of his dream of a Nkrumah-controlled Pan African empire. His influence in the Congo had fallen away, and the expensive Ghana-subsidized alliance with Sékou Toure's Guinea and Modibo Keita's Mali was getting him nowhere. Moreover, the day was fast approaching when Ghana's dwindling exchequer would have to put up $226 million for the ambitious...
Kwame Nkrumah now seemed as much a prisoner of his leftist colleagues as he was of his own Pan African dreams. There was only one way out-more bluster. When word trickled into Accra that Washington was pausing to reconsider its offer of the U.S.'s $133 million Volta River loan.

Present Strictures. Alexei's church claims about 95 million of Pan-Orthodoxy's 130 million, and it is entering world Christian affairs for the first time since the Russian Revolution. The application of Russian Orthodoxy for membership in the World Council of Churches will almost certainly be accepted at the council's third General Assembly in New Delhi in November. In a speech that attacked the Vatican, called for disarmament and denounced colonialism, suety, brown-bearded Nikodemus spouted Khrushchev's line...
