...soldier's girl friend. The army is now so far beyond the law that it is believed responsible for thousands of killings that Amin never ordered. The sound of small-arms fire is a feature of Kampala evenings. "The army is machine-gunning the moon to save Uganda from invasion," say Kampalans bitterly. Outwardly one of Africa's most placidly beautiful capitals, the city is gripped by fear...
...lights throughout the University were turned off and other energy consuming devices--fans, motors, etc.--were used sparingly. But most significiantly, Hall set up a team of "troubleshooters" who spent much of the fall and winter fixing Harvard's antiquated facilities.

He has moved the date for its completion to three years from...

In the Shevelove version, Bernard Shaw substitutes. As his companion, Dionysus takes along his obese, grumbling Sancho Panza-like servant Xanthias (Michael Vale). They have their slapstick encounters, not only with the cranky Charon, who speaks like a movie gold prospector, but with enticing...
