...lonely Yakima surveying the shambles said, "There are many bad spirits here." ∎ With a cobra's speed, a jaguar's ferocity and the imagination of a Lenny Bruce, General Idi Amin Dado ("Big Daddy"), President of Uganda, has sacked his Foreign Minister, Princess Elizabeth of Toro, 34. He accused her of making love in a toilet at Paris' Orly Airport with an unknown European as she was on her way home from...
...perhaps appropriate for me to say very simply this," Nixon told 5000 supporters when he landed at El Toro Marine Air Base only hours after Gerald Ford became president. "Having completed one task does not mean that we will just sit and enjoy this marvelous California climate and do nothing....

Patrick emphasized it was only a lark. "I jumped at the offer as something...
...sooner had Princess Elizabeth of Toro, 34, accepted the post of Ugandan Ambassador to Egypt last month than General Idi ("Big Daddy") Amin Dada changed his mind. Deciding that he could not part with Elizabeth or her talents, he appointed her instead Uganda's Minister of Foreign Affairs. Ugandan observers consider the promotion a practical rather than romantic measure. Not only does Big Daddy, a Moslem, already have four wives, but he is sadly short of Cabinet talent among his cronies, mostly former NCOS and privates. Before Elizabeth's appointment, he had flayed the Foreign Affairs Ministry...
