Hoffa's other headache is how to keep the control of his 1,700,000-member union. He figures to spend much of the next two years in appeals courts, and there have been noisy but thus far ineffectual rumbles of rebellion from Teamster locals across the U.S. "I think he should be man enough to resign," said Philadelphia's Teamster Vice President John Backhus. "He's done too much damage to the union's reputation." Nevertheless, when the 15-man Teamster executive board meets in two weeks, chances are remote that insurgents will be able...
...tour of Stanleyville (pop. 300,000) showed that Tshombe had succeeded in winning the approval of at least some of the city folks.

Chaabani was also opposed to the Marxist extremes of Ben Bella's regime, a sentiment he shared with former Party Bigwig Mohammed Khider...
...dark days of the Algerian revolution, and lent his considerable political skills to Ben Bella in his rise to power in the F.L.N. Breaking with Ben Bella at the cataclysmic party congress of April 1963, Khider went into intermittent exile, but until this week was reluctant to endorse armed rebellion against the regime.
