Instead, in the bloodiest single period of the war, Anya Nya rebels attacked government forces, brutally mutilating an Arab sergeant at Juba in the process. The Arab soldiers went berserk, killing hundreds of blacks and burning countless huts...
...hate to see the judicial process used for extrajudicial ends," says Victor Earle of New York City, one of the lawyers who argued the historic Miranda case before the Supreme Court. He was referring in part to the generally held view that Dinis' intention may be to enhance his own political career.

...ultimate creation of the recording process are composers who create only for the electronic idiom. To them, composition means either recording real-life sounds on tape and then transforming them electronically (musique concrete), or starting from scratch with an electronic sound synthesizer like the Moog (TIME, March 7).

He would establish a senior civil service group, for example, composed of generalists with ties to no single agency, who would be responsible for providing a "proper centralization of a democratic administrative process." Sloppily written laws, he feels, have been much to blame for the failure of government. Accordingly, he would strengthen congressional control over federal programs by putting a five-to ten-year limit on all organic acts of legislation. Congress would then be free to overhaul or eliminate programs that...
