Carrot & Stick. "We must wage a decisive battle against the migration," cried Ulbricht a few weeks ago, admitting that this "organized slave trade" with other Western activities in West Berlin, costs East Germany "one billion marks annually." What bothers Ulbricht is satellite East Germany's lagging rate of industrial expansion; it was largely shortage of labor that forced Ulbricht to scrap East Germany's aircraft industry a few months ago. In desperation, the party is urging housewives to go into the factories, and schoolchildren often "donate" a day of work in the fields...
...Hugh enters the priesthood, possibly in disgust at his father's tactics, but comes to hate his parishioners as much as he does his father, and dies of a hemorrhaging ulcer. Another son cravenly sponges off the old man. The eldest daughter becomes Charlie's spinster slave, while a spunkier daughter, Helen, marries a pompous doctor just to escape from the house...
James Leonard Farmer, 41, helped found the Congress of Racial Equality in Chicago 19 years ago; four months ago he was elected CORE's national director. Son of a college professor and grandson of a slave, hefty (6 ft., 210 Ibs.) James Farmer studied medicine at Texas' Wiley College just long enough to realize that he could not stand the sight of blood, decided to become a minister, took his divinity degree at Howard University, but was never ordained. Instead, he went to work for such "social-action causes" as Fellowship of Reconciliation and the N.A.A.C.P. He studied...
...cans and bold demands to "stop to help a dying man." Argentine President Arturo Frondizi told a press conference: "I don't believe people can be traded for things. I want all the prisoners freed." In Montevideo, the publishers of Uruguay's biggest papers called Castro a "slave runner" and put a tractor on a downtown platform to dramatize a fund-raising drive. Brazil's staid, respected O Estado de Sāo Paulo promised to buy one tractor itself, and was immediately flooded with offers of help from readers; some 2,000 students paraded through...
...such lurid levels, so much more belching forth when nothing more seems possible. Except for its blatant treatment of sex, Mandingo would itself seem an anachronism, written in 1832 as well as taking place then. The scene is an Alabama plantation, with Franchot Tone as an aging, tippling, crotchety slave breeder and seller. Among his slaves are drunkards, onetime bedmates, "rheumatiz boys," and three Mandingos (so named for their ancestral African tribe), who to preserve their pure blood must practice incest. Among his family are a son who loathes his wife and lives openly with a slave girl...
