...aghast in 1948 when London University Law Student Seretse Khama, young chief of Bechuanaland's Bamangwato tribe, wooed and won London Typist Ruth Williams. She was a white woman, which was bound to cause trouble among the natives. Quietly, Whitehall asked the couple to live out of sight in England. Politely they refused-and when they insisted on going home, the government banished them from Bechuanaland until 1956 when they and their children (now three sons, one daughter) were finally allowed to return. Britain may have long since swallowed its prejudice, but it took until last week to show...
...Phillips turned to Libya after dropping the usual string of names and introductions, was soon in conference with King Idris working out an oil concession. Phillips' original 3% interest in the 9,000-sq,-mi. concession has been lost to sight in a series of transfers. The concession is now held by W. R.

The only other situation comedy worth a twirl is That Girl (ABC), a sort of My Sister Eileen, starring Danny Thomas' saucy daughter Mario. She is much snappier than her material, and at 26 is unmistakably a hot new talent...
Stories inevitably spread about miraculous cures effected by the acacia's water. A blind woman said her sight was restored after the acacia's liquid was poured into her eyes. Open sores on a child's face were reported washed away. Arthritic pain and lung congestion apparently disappeared after sufferers drank the fluid. Soon busloads of visitors were arriving at the Morse property from as far away as San Antonio and Monterrey, Mexico...
