...have backfired. When new schools were built, there were not enough competent Libyan teachers to staff them. The shortage was eased by importing Egyptians, many of whom were aflame with Nasserite notions of Arab unity and socialism. During the brief periods when the curfew was lifted last week, young men in Tripoli swarmed out to cheer the revolution, and schoolgirls built triumphal arches of branches and flowers on scores of streets. Libyan embassies in Damascus, Rome and Athens were seized by young Libyan students and officers studying abroad...
...prospects are that the triumvirate will quietly scrap Costa's plan for a revised constitution and a civilian Congress. For the present, Lyra Tavares can be expected to pursue Costa e Silva's role as a "moderator" in fending off the Young Turk officers who want the military to clamp an even firmer grip on the country.

Top name performers filled the air with clangor. But as at Bethel, it was not just the music but the hordes of young spectators who made the spectacle-and the scene. The Now Sound had confirmed and amplified the Now Look, a bewildering compound of acid and sweet charity, an exuberant blend of innocence and togetherness.. En masse, the gaily bedecked faithful presented an unsettling aspect, a ragtag mosaic of humanity suggesting...
