...should leave Biafra, ostensibly to seek help elsewhere, actually to facilitate the surrender. Ojukwu later claimed that the decision was his; in Lagos, there were contrary reports that Effiong and other dissenters had forced Ojukwu to go. In any case, Ojukwu departed with bank accounts in London and Zurich to cushion the blow. With Ojukwu gone, Effiong broadcast a call for a cease-fire over a mobile radio transmitter. "Our people are now disillusioned," he said, "and those elements of the old government regime who have made negotiations and reconciliations impossible have voluntarily removed themselves from our midst...

The Arab terrorists seemed totally uninterested in defending themselves. Backed by a claque of Arab lawyer-spectators from Algeria, Jordan, Libya and Egypt, the three denounced their court-appointed Swiss attorney and refused to answer all questions...
Surrounding these two plays will be Die Schauspieltruppe Zurich's repertory of playwrights Durrenmatt, Frisch and Goethe (late September) and the Oxford-Cambridge Players' Twelfth Night (December). Last season, only the latter troupe attracted a large student audience to the Loeb, and their work was enthusiastically received. This year's production is directed by Jonathan Miller, Beyond the Fringe alumnus and one of the funniest men alive...
