...Cossacks." About 70% of British Jewry is Orthodox-a fact that is no guarantee of cohesiveness. On the far left of the community-scorned as near apostates by Jews who observe Halacha (religious law)-are the minority of Reform Jews, similar in their modernizing views to American Conservative Judaism, and the Liberals, who theologically conform roughly to the Reform movement in the U.S. Representing the mainstream of Orthodoxy -and most of the wealthy Anglo-Jewish families-is the United Synagogue, which governs 80 congregations in Greater London.

...Journalism. Later he joins a reform party to put Chief Nanga and his grafters out of office. It ends in debacle. Odili is beaten nearly to death by the chiefs forthright constituents, and it is back to the village for him. But all is well. A military coup deposes Nanga's gang, and, with a more or less good conscience, the convalescent Odili is able to pay the "bride price" for the now redundant "parlor wife." He does it from party funds...
