...safety, he relied primarily on the affection he had earned during ins seven years in office. He had traveled widely throughout Maryland, entertained handsomely,* organized the building of a theatre, and consistently tried to reconcile London and the Colonies. Tins enraged General Charles Lee, Continental commander for the southern region, who demanded last month that the Maryland Council "get rid of their damn'd government." The Baltimore Committee of Observation sent a band of men to kidnap Eden, but the Annapolis authorities repelled them. Only in May did the Maryland State Convention finally request that Eden "depart peaceably with...
...summit was an outgrowth of Kissinger's recent tour of Black Africa. He became convinced that the Vorster government was the key to any peaceful solution in the region, a point also made by several of the black leaders he talked with.

But only ten have their own cameras, and the government restricts the import of film. All of Burma's movie houses have been nationalized. South Korea produced 94 films last year. But the melodramas were...
Twain is neither. He is impatient to visit the region where he lived and labored a century ago. The travelers drive north along the wild California coast at Big Sur and into San Francisco?charmingly provincial still, studiously cosmopolitan. Even Twain is impressed with that great sculpture in steel, the Golden Gate Bridge. People, he is told, come from miles around just to jump from it, but these visitors prefer to enjoy the scene from the hills immediately northwest of the span...
