...people can still play on the continent: in his Lusaka speech last April, he told a predominantly black audience that white South Africans "are not colonialists" and that "historically they are African people." At the Bavarian summit, Kissinger will urge Vorster to surrender jurisdiction over Namibia and proclaim a timetable, "acceptable to the world community," for greater self-determination for blacks in South Africa itself. In light of the Soweto tragedy, it would seem likely that this particular message will come through to Vorster−very loud and very clear...
...spoke their unchanging lines like actors, reporters found themselves analyzing their performances in box office terms. In fact, "electability" has become the final political argument. (Worried at one point because TV news was concentrating on little except his comments on his electoral chances, Carter ordered up more commercials to proclaim his basic themes...
Even as Mozambique steps up its efforts to train Rhodesian guerrillas and help them infiltrate and harass the white-ruled nation, it is itself slipping deeper into an economic and political morass. President Samora Machel's decision last month to close his border with Rhodesia and proclaim a "state of war" deprived landlocked Rhodesia of vital rail links to the sea, and is forcing it into a virtual siege economy.

This week both House and Senate are expected to pass a bill extending U.S. jurisdiction over coastal waters from its present twelve miles to 200 miles; President Ford's signature is likely. Under the bill, which will take effect next March...
THERE IS STILL ONLY ONE KING KONG, proclaim the Paramount Pictures Dino De Laurentiis ads and posters, and they are right in a way the copywriters never intended. In the $13 million movie's seventh week of production, King Kong still lacks a star. In his race to beat rival Universal's King Kong project (TIME, Jan. 5), De Laurentiis won a court battle but apparently neglected to get the ape off the drawing board. All of the 40-ft. mechanical Kong he has so far is a pair of mighty arms that cost $450,000 and have...
