Muzorewa has no guerrilla organization and practically no support from neighboring African states, but he is undeniably popular in Rhodesia and is hailed at rallies in Salisbury's huge Highfield township as "the black Moses."

...best known primarily for its stellar football teams and its 150 alumni who have played in the pro football leagues. But the college stresses mind over muscle. About 40% of the faculty have Ph.D.s; most of the rest have master's degrees. Business is now the most popular major-even among athletes, who once specialized in physical education-as Grambling encourages them to prepare for life after sports.
