After his own fast, Tarn Chau, the sect's political coordinator, led 500 monks and nuns in another 24-hour hunger strike; before beginning it, a group of the bonzes prudently tucked into a hearty breakfast outside their pagoda. Then a Buddhist communiqué claimed that Tri Quang, leader of northern and central Buddhists, was continuing his original fast into a sixth day.

Visible Disappointments. The celebrations in Nairobi featured a marathon run by Ethiopia's Olympic Winner Abebe Bikila, feathered tribal dancers, and Guinea's Ballets Africains, which offered only one disappointment-the girls wore brassieres.
