...Somalis, a proud, clannish people whose skin is black and whose heritage is Arab, regard the Ethiopians as the most persistent of a long line of colonizers that has also included the Egyptians, British and Italians. Over evening fires, the Somalis often recount the exploits of the revered Ahmed Gurey, perhaps the first of the Somali freedom fighters; he attacked Ethiopians in the Ogaden in the 16th century...
...W.S.L.F. wants to liberate the region from Ethiopian rule and unite it with Somalia, whose President, Siad Barre, is a son of the Ogaden. The front claims that it could raise an army of 400,000-roughly the size of the Ogaden's population-if only it had the weapons, and that is probably true. Every nomad seems to carry a rock, a club or a knife. Some have antiquated rifles, and a few proudly display Soviet-made automatic weapons. They are dressed in rags for the most part, but are highly motivated. Reports TIME Nairobi Bureau Chief David...
...demanding freedom for the same prisoners whose release was being sought by Schleyer's abductors, the skyjackers have-in the words of a German official-"enormously complicated an already difficult situation."

One deadline after another has expired as Bonn kept negotiating with the kidnapers through Denis Payot, a Swiss human rights activist who is not a terrorist sympathizer...

Mine owners-whose negotiating team is headed by Joseph Brennan, 42, a onetime U.M.W. official-contend that buyers are becoming reluctant to purchase U.M.W.-mined coal, because there is no assurance of continued supply...
Despite such engaging ways, many musicians and critics complain that Rostropovich takes too many liberties with his music, both at the cello and on the podium. Cellist Starker, whose style is considerably cooler and more disciplined than Slava's, deplores -"the personal approach that disregards the composer and stresses the feelings of the individual." It is not that Rostropovich insists upon sending his disregards to the composer; he simply hears phrases, colors and rhythms that nobody else hears. The result is that when he conducts, his soloist's gift for subtlety sometimes deserts him. In Vienna two years...
