Only one area of town seems almost untouched. The section where the white workers in the copper companies live resembles a pleasant Belgian suburb, with well-kept gardens and roads, European cafes and restaurants. African mine workers, of course, still live in overcrowded one-and two-room shacks.

In 1974 Democrat Geralds parlayed his reputation for rectitude into...
...dedication dates back to boyhood days in Melrose Park, Pa.--a Philadelphia suburb--where Fine, small even for his age, found himself going at it with mostly older players. "I used to practice all the time," Fine recalled. "Whenever I was going somewhere, walking down the street, going to school, I had a basketball with me, dribbling...
