Skirmishes between various military groups have been commonplace since the July coup. Uganda's new leader, Major General Tito Okello, had appealed to the rebels to lay down their guns and join his government. On Dec. 17 he met with Insurgent Leader Yoweri Museveni in neighboring Kenya and signed a peace accord that called for Museveni to become deputy chairman of a restructured military council.

Two hours and 24 minutes long. Right, Maude--let's run out and see When Father Was Away on Business! As it happens, there is every reason to catch this endearing memory movie, which won the Palme d'Or at the 1985 Cannes International Film Festival. The memory is that of the Bosnian poet Abdulah Sidran, who fashioned his script from events affecting a Muslim community in Sarajevo from 1949 to 1952. The vision...
