...challenge to Mboya's leadership revolves around the famous exile in faraway Lodwar village. The legendary Kenyatta remains the idol of every Kenya African. If Kenyatta is angry with Mboya's compromise, Tom is in for trouble, for, after all, he is a mere youngster in the eyes of some Kikuyu politicians, who were fighting for African rights before Mboya was born. Cautiously, Tom says: "I have never represented myself as a replacement for Kenyatta. When he comes back, we will all accept him as our leader," and he adds: "It does not make much difference...

Caught dipping into petty cash to bet on the horses, he got the sack, had to sleep in public parks till he heard of a gold strike in New Guinea. At 17, he set out to make his fortune, and for the next five years he lived by his remarkably quick...
...hockey's brightest new star is a baby-faced youngster with blond curly hair: 20-year-old Bobby Hull of the Chicago Black Hawks. His fullback's legs let him flash to a halt in a swirl of shaved ice, start again in a burst of speed that may well be the most explosive in the National Hockey League. He is solid enough (5 ft. 10½ in., 190 Ibs.) to hold off a defense man with one thick arm while stickhandling the puck with the other. And when he slaps one of his lefthanded shots, the puck...
