...passionate effort to get that message across to an America beset with more suffering and social unrest than at any time since the Great Depression, Coles has in the past dozen years poured his insights into 13 books and 350 articles. His most recent books, just published, are Migrants, Sharecroppers, Mountaineers and The South Goes North (Atlantic-Little, Brown), the first about poverty in rural backwaters, the second about destitution in urban slums. They are part of a multi-volume work called Children of Crisis, a long-term study that began in 1967 with a book about the effects...
Last Straw. But there was more to the coup than that. In his drive for progress, Busia had left a trail of resentment and unrest. He sacked 600 civil servants (mostly for political reasons), threatened to fire judges who were uncooperative, imposed a special "development" tax of 1% to 5% on incomes of more than $ 1,000 a year, and banned the import of 150 items ranging from cigarettes to new automobiles.

"Heaven has become empty space to us, a fair memory of things that once were. But our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the roots of our being." In search of something that they can hold on to, many people in the West, particularly the young, are either returning to Christian fundamentalism through the Jesus Revolution (TIME, June 21) or turning to the religions of the East, chiefly Buddhism and Hinduism...
...India boiled into street demonstrations throughout Pakistan, rumors of an impending coup d'état by younger army officers against the government of President Mohammed Agha Yahya Khan swept the country. As expected, Yahya last week became the highest-ranking casualty of the war: to forestall further unrest, he hastily surrendered his powers to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, 43, the ambitious leader of West Pakistan's powerful People's Party. Bhutto, the first civilian to lead his country in 13 years, launched his presidency with a move calculated to appease the wounded feelings of his nation: he sacked...
