McCOY TYNER, TIME FOR TYNER (Blue Note). The former Coltrane pianist here plays in a quartet that includes Vibist Bobby Hutcherson. Tyner's composition African Village is a free fall into the heart of rhythms that pound and shift as McCoy and Bobby superimpose eddying patterns. May Street moves along with jaunty strut, shadowed, however, by a tension of eerie chords. As for standard tunes, Tyner does a pensive I Didn't Know What Time It Was and then zooms off in The Surrey with the Fringe...

He wanted to shake the banknotes over the bar and let them drop amongst the tonics and beers like leaves. He put down a pound only and shoved the rest back in some pocket. The pain had been worse than this...
...country. Zambia has neither the capital nor the skills to run the mines by itself. Kaunda must rely heavily on both the companies and their remaining 5,000 white miners to keep operations going. Only the steadily rising price of copper, now at a high of 740 per pound, has enabled Zambia to maintain a favorable balance of payments in recent years. Any decline in copper prices as a result of an end of the war in Viet Nam, the discovery of new sources, or the increased use of other minerals, would hit Zambia hard...
