Perhaps you will be interested to know that Theresa Nanziri, whose brutal murder you describe in "Amin's Horror Chamber" [April 30], was one of the leaders of the training staff for Peace Corps Uganda. She represented the best of the pre-Amin Uganda, a strong woman, confident and competent, especially within her field-mathematics. She was a beautiful person as well, who helped many of us to become better teachers. I cannot help wondering how much her association with the Peace Corps endangered her after the U.S. broke diplomatic relations with Uganda, and whether her life...
...tiresome Mo (Theresa Russell) seems considerably less complex than the title characters of Laverne and Shirley. Nonetheless, Greenberg siphons all of Watergate through this couple, and, worse still, he dramatizes the banalities of their domestic life. John's premarital flings with other women (including a French floozy who seems to have stepped out of Irma La Douce) get more screen time than the Ervin hearings. The Deans' bouts with alcohol are presented with the florid excess of an old Hollywood weeper like /'// Cry Tomorrow...
...staff and students at the St. Theresa Mission School in Nandere, a tiny village deep in the bamboo-and-papyrus forests 30 miles north of Kampala, were more fortunate. First a band of Amin's soldiers robbed Headmaster Kibunka Peregrine of his watch and money; then, the headmaster told TIME Nairobi Bureau Chief David Wood, one of the soldiers "jammed a hand grenade in my mouth and told me to take him to the deacon."

...brought from the hospital to the SRB. There, Farouk made a slashing motion across his throat as she was flung to the floor. She was driven away, sobbing, to a nearby forest, where she was shot in the back. One victim, a Makerere University warden named Theresa Nanziri, was eight months pregnant when she was brought to the SRB. After a day of interrogation, claims Kisuule-Minge, she and her husband were taken down to the reception area. A Nubian private known as Simba stepped forward and plunged a knife into her stomach. As she screamed and fell back...
...barely peeps while his new bride flies about doing labor organizing with the self-described 'lefto' from Central Park West. Bridges tries valiantly to inject this regional stereotype with credibility but unfortunately, his Sonny comes off like a muscle-bound teddy-bear blessed with the patience of Baptist Mother Theresa. Supposedly a divorced father, Sonny behaves with such liberated understanding that it seems impossible any woman would depart from this well-built fount of warmth and wisdom. The character fails because he was created simply to be the 'wife' every working woman needs to take care of the kids. With...
