Though enormously popular in her Afro-Asian realms, Elizabeth II clearly cannot excite the same veneration or project the same mood there that she does in Britain. Shortly after Ghana's independence, Prime Minister Nkrumah substituted his own picture for the Queen's on postage stamps. He explained disarmingly: "Many of my people cannot read or write.

...that they were ready "to be led before firing squads" rather than comply with Castro's confiscatory land reform (TIME, June 1). ¶ Waited the results of a "public-opinion poll" that will purport to show what the U.S. thinks of Castro. The poll is the first project of Bernard Relin & Associates Inc., a U.S. public-relations agency hired by Cuba in April for $72,000 a year. ¶ Learned that ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista held $45,879,245 worth of stock in Cuban and foreign industries, about $12 million of it in U.S. companies...
