...intense. Husein Liban, a Jijiga elder, recalls how the Somali nomads once killed an Ethiopian policeman who tried to collect a tax that they regarded as unfair. In revenge, he recalls, they "took 35 of our people and shot them. They would cut the breasts of our women to prevent them from suckling our young. When the fighting increased, the Ethiopians took 150 of our people as hostages. They shot them all, including my brother Odowa." Liban proudly claims to have been a guerrilla for 31 of his 71 years. "There is killing and killing," he says...
...gamble-that French voters will prefer his go-slow, common-sense policies to electorally inspired giveaways-will largely depend on external events. Will West Germany, France's largest trading partner, prime its economy sufficiently to create new jobs in France? Will Japanese exporters exercise enough restraint to prevent a trade war? Will the oil sheiks hold the line on prices at the end of the year? No one knows.

The current group of 30 is terracing a site, selected by both students and instructors, in an attempt to prevent soil erosion. The hillside site they chose is extremely steep, and the students must rely heavily on each other to work safely and effectively. The black and white students, who tote humus and wood girders together, who anchor one another as they climb up the hillside, certainly provide a sharp contrast with the students who walk the halls of Southie...
Meanwhile, 27 bishops who are staying within the church have signed a "covenant" refusing to recognize women priests. At the Florida meeting, Presiding Bishop John M. Allin, 56, stunned the bishops by declaring that his understanding of ministry, of the Bible and of sexual roles "prevent my believing that women can be priests any more than they can become fathers or husbands." It was Allin's first official statement against women priests since he was elected in 1973.
