...valley where white and cullud folks are jes a-sittin' and a-singin' and a-waitin' for somethin' to happen. Nothin' does. A leprechaun (Tommy Steele) wanders in, a lot of galvanic twitching goes on in the name of choreography, and eventually a white-supremacist Senator (Keenan Wynn) gets changed into a Negro. At the end, when everybody joins hands to shout out the coda, it is clear that this classic stage musical has wrinkled into senility.

Last week the move toward moderation manifested itself for the first time in that bastion of the white South, Mississippi...
...delegation to Nigeria to offer advice on ways to end the civil war. Kenyan, Ethiopian and Somalian diplomats took the occasion to arrange talks for next month aimed at ending the revolt of Somali tribesmen in Kenya and Ethiopia. While Haile Selassie urged an armed assault on the white-supremacist government of Rhodesia, the delegates more realistically decided only to increase their financial support for bands of black "freedom fighters" who seek to overthrow the regime. As for the Congo's white mercenaries, entrenched in the border town of Bukavu, the heads of state demanded that they...
