...that a circumcision rite would take place at a nearby encampment of Samburu warriors. Rousing his men at 4 a.m., he led them on foot through several miles of country overrun with predators. The crew arrived in time to catch the Samburus reeling into a catatonic frenzy. Then the tribal elder drew his knife. The cameraman closed in so tight that he got blood on his camera. And Bill Holden, who, as one Wolper man put it, had played it all along like "the essential Hemingway man," admitted that suddenly he grew "weak in the knees." Later, the chief...
HAIR. The Public Theater Cast Recording (RCA Victor) and the Broadway Cast Recording (RCA Victor). Last season, off-Broadway's Public Theater presented a tribute to the hyphenated generation with a fullscale, turned-on, freaked-out, pro-love, antiwar, love-rock bein.

Moreover, Biafra is an African product, and that arouses admiration. "We are Africa's first real nationalist state," says Ojukwu. "We constitute a warning to other states that oppression of minorities cannot go unpunished." This argument has had considerable effect on the four African heads of state...
...other hand, the Organization of African Unity, which can agree on few things, has gone on record as supporting Nigerian sovereignty over Biafra. Its members, the national leaders of Black Africa, can only view the precedent of tribal breakaway with profound dismay, for each must cope with tribal divisions in his own country. "It was the Congo and Tshombe yesterday, and it is Nigeria and Ojukwu today," warns Gowon. "Who knows what African country will be the next victim...
