...Sigauke was by now too important to risk being captured. An English friend in Swaziland arranged for him to be driven, non-stop, across South Africa by Land Rover and into the Bechaunaland Protectorate. From there he crossed into Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) and made his way to join the other Mozambican revolutionaries in Tanzania. There he became Frelimo's secretary for internal organization within Mozambique. Because of his knowledge of the secret police, he now directs the Frelimo agents within the country...
...tanned and fit, surrounded by autograph seekers and well-wishers. In his speech, Goldwater declared: "Enough time has gone by to know that it was image that decided the election. Your candidate, and that was me in case you forgot it, was saddled with two images: that I would risk war too easily and that I would destroy the social security system.

Last week the United Nations, which had earlier designated 1965 as International Cooperation Year, reached a stalemate and adjourned for six months...
...King & J. P. Morgan. Lord Cromer thus stepped right into a behind-scenes Cabinet hassle over what kind of budget the government should present to Commons in April. Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan reportedly wants to temper spending with a basically deflationary budget, is willing to risk a rise in unemployment; Economics Minister George Brown argues that Britain must proceed with wage rises and welfare spending. For candidly coming out on the side of Callaghan, Lord Cromer earned criticism from both left and right. The Laborite New Statesman lashed him for "calculated political intervention," and the Financial Times faulted...
