...without bogging down in the mud. But some 5.000 white soldiers have arrived from Lisbon to beef up Angola's 2,000-man regular garrison. Roberto's forces are also grouping for a showdown. He claims that he is getting financial aid from Tunisia to fuel his revolt but denies that he is getting any help from Ghana (the Portuguese have admitted that they made a mistake in claiming the capture of 71 "Ghanaians"). "The Portuguese have been in Angola for 500 years and have done nothing but kill us." he cries. "We won't rest until...

Reform & Rebellion. When word came of revolt in the American Colonies, the idealistic La Fayette got himself appointed a major general in the Revolutionary forces and, without bothering to send word to the pregnant Adrienne, set sail to bring freedom to North America. Five years later, he returned a hero, and Adrienne was so overcome that she fainted at their reunion.
