...guerrillas of the Patriotic Front, nothing was more important than disrupting elections in Rhodesia that will usher in Prime Minister Ian Smith's version of black majority rule. For Smith and his three black colleagues in the interim government of the breakaway British colony, nothing was more essential than preventing the guerrillas from carrying out their plans. On the eve of balloting by the country's blacks, a heavily armed Rhodesian raiding party last week struck deeply into Zambia, which provides a headquarters and staging bases for 16,000 irregulars of Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People...

Even as his countrymen prepared to usher in the Year of the Goat, China's Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing was getting ready to leave for his historic visit to the U.S. Just four days before his departure, he took time out for a wide-ranging interview with Time Inc. Editor in Chief Hedley Donovan, who was accompanied by TIME'S Hong Kong bureau chief, Marsh Clark. The interview, initially scheduled for half an hour, stretched to 80 minutes in the Sinkiang Room of the Great Hall of the People on Peking's T'ien An Men Square...
