...rapidly developing country like Nigeria, we see some peculiar paradoxes. We saw one of these when the Action Group campaign helicopter landed on the road in front of our Mission compound here. The wind from the rotor almost tore the grass roof off a nearby house. It is probably the first time that "repair of grass roofs" might be listed as election expenses. The helicopter pilot mentioned that one disadvantage of the helicopter's use was the fact that it often attracted more attention than the campaign speech...
...least 14 other covers on subjects as dissimilar as Air Force Space Physician John Paul Stapp (MEDICINE, Sept. 12, 1955), Yankee Orator Casey Stengel (SPORT, Oct. 3, 1955), and TV's glib-jib Private Eyes (Snow BUSINESS, Oct. 26).

Within itself, the Administration is divided on the steel strike. Labor Secretary James Mitchell favors a settlement on almost any terms, played a behind-scenes role in California Steelmaker Edgar Kaiser's defection from steel's solid front to make a separate settlement (TIME, Nov. 9). Opposed to Mitchell are White House economic counselors led by Presidential Adviser Raymond Saulnier, who insist that the U.S. public...
...economy of Senegal, which produces some of the most beautiful women and best fighting men in Africa, is almost wholly dependent on peanuts, which France buys at 25% over world prices. Neighboring Sudan is even poorer. But the Federation of Mali, said its first Premier, Modibo Keita, 44, supports "the principle of independence as soon as possible...
