Tshombe and his associates have alleged that Ugandans are in the employment of his rival government. He has no tangible evidence to that effect. Even if Tshombe's charges are true, Gbenye's government is morally bound to ask Uganda or any other neighboring African for any type of help to stop the senseless massacres being perpetrated by Tshombe and the United States...

Thus the coalition would have limited the Mayor's real power to Manhattan and Richmond...
Chartering will always be a monopoly operation at Harvard. Competition between rival agencies, aside from providing opportunities for irresponsible business ventures, would undoubtedly result in an overabundance of planes, many remaining unfilled and therefore grounded. But the monopoly, whoever runs it, must be closely regulated. And the first principle of sound regulation is a detailed and publicized investigation of the monopoly's procedures...
