...Ethiopia's throne after the Italian invasion forced him into exile in 1936. After World War II, she and her love child, Richard, settled in Addis Ababa, where her son lectures at University College. Grateful for her long fight in his behalf, the reascendent Emperor rewarded Old Warrior Pankhurst with a singularly appropriate decoration-the medal of Queen of Sheba, First Class...
...history or much money. The solution was to ring in two bit-players-Ingemar Johansson and Mort Sahl. Heavyweight Johansson sings a campfire song prettily in Swedish, and his two basic expressions (faintly amused and faintly serious) beat Actor Ladd's range by one. Comic Sahl, the only warrior shown who looks grubby enough to be a real G.I., very nearly saves the show with one line. He cheers his mates up with a few jokes during a lull in the battle, then remarks that, seriously, things look very dark. Turning to one of his buddies, he says with...
...even as she makes the sign of the cross, the grieving widow will say, "Charon took him"-the miroloy mirrors in its 16-syllable line the lament of Andromache over the body of Hector.

Chief offenders: locals in the building trades and, south of the Mason-Dixon Line, steel, textiles and Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers. "The entire labor movement bears guilt for the existence of racial disadvantage to workers of color," said Randolph...
...start as a nation, just as it has been the political plague everywhere in Africa. For to conservative tribal rulers, democracy is a mysterious and not entirely welcome concept. Tribal elders do not like the idea of upstart youngsters challenging their authority in the tribe's affairs. Warrior clans, like the Lulua, whose hegemony was built with spears and brawn, are outraged to find themselves outvoted by the humble Baluba, who have adopted such unmanly professions as clerk or typist. Many tribes had less interest in establishing a new nation than in protecting their own traditional home areas from...
