...Rhodesias into the white-dominated Central African Federation. Fortnight ago, when delegates from Nyasaland and Britain sat down in London's ornate Lancaster House to debate a new deal for the little land, experts predicted failure. Peppery little Dr. Hastings Banda, idol of Nyasaland blacks, had threatened to walk out if his demands for complete African political control of Nyasaland were not accepted, and white representatives seemed certain to veto anything he suggested. Miraculously, the delegates last week arose from their labors with broad smiles, even if they might prove short-lived...

...year that Lord Clonard, the P.R. man of moneyless title through whose eyes most of the events are seen, notes that London's girlie shows have taken a perverse, sadistic twist. Swarms of young men openly hold hands in the street and neck in Hyde Park, and prostitutes walk naked under their raincoats or furs. A dozen Reading Gaols would not hold all the homosexual offenders or 50 Bridewells all the convicted tarts, so that there is talk-just talk, of course-of "detention" camps...
