...Radhakrishnan said, "Asian-African." Asia would thus be taking the initiative to settle an Asian question, and would be disposed to help keep the peace. But the bigger point is that Governor Rockefeller has made this plan a national and world issue. I congratulate him-a great and brave step. If the present negotiations in Paris should get into a jam, they might turn to this plan...
...Bride Wore Black would appear a step in the wrong direction, Truffaut having subtitled it unofficially his "hommage a Hitchcock," the film directly after publications of the huge Le Cinema Selon Hitchcock now on everybody's coffee table. But the film pleasantly reveals Truffaut as having learnt more and imitating less.

...contrast, the ecclesiastical statements of the council seemed mild and almost irrelevant.

Most administrators and teachers are products of colonial-era training, and share with many of their students a conviction that any Africanization is a step into the past. Among the few national leaders who pushed for reform was Ghana's ex-President Kwame Nkrumah, who established an Institute of African Studies at the university after severing all ties with the University of London. In French-speaking black Africa, where early missionaries had rigidly emphasized European thought...
...began to talk about mobile tactics, about moving one step faster than the police, about scattering and re-grouping, "because movement is life, man." When they come, take to the side streets. If it looks like one cop has someone caught, everyone else converge on The Man, and he'll let your comrade go. Keep loose, keep moving. The man can't run as fast as hippies...
