There was a strong component of class protest, of general dissatisfaction, among the Wallaceites. While only 44 per cent of Nixon voters and 55 per cent of Humphrey voters considered themselves "working class," 64 per cent of the people who voted for Wallace did so.

An Adelaide man wondered if it could be his missing daughter, who had loved to hand-feed kangaroos near their former home.

A reconciliation of sorts has taken place between the federal government, headed by General Yakubu Gowon, and the secessionist republic of Biafra, now Nigeria's East Central state. The scars of war, physical as well as psychological, have mostly faded. The sole reminders of the airstrip at Uli-Biafra's only gateway to the outside world during the long federal siege-are the rusting hulks of five relief planes that missed the runway in the darkness; the strip itself is a highway once more...
