...scattering contradictory clues, and last week he was playing it with obvious relish. He allowed Spain's monarchists to organize a mass rally to greet Queen Victoria Eugenia at the airport, but restricted TV coverage to a 17-second film strip.

...lunar equator-and for good reason. Plans for the lunar mission call for the Apollo command ship to circle the moon in an 80-mile-high equatorial orbit while the LM descends to the surface below.

Though Biafra hired a Hollywood public relations man to organize the trip, TIME Correspondent Friedel Ungeheuer, who went along, learned enough on his own by moving around the country, talking with Biafrans and Europeans and interviewing Biafra's leader, Lieut...
