Since science can now distinguish the incurably sick from the curable, mercy killing is justified-so goes the chatter in cocktail bars. The naked, woolly-haired Nuba tribesmen who live in the Otoro Hills, deep in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, did not wait for the cocktail-bar moralists; the Nuba have been euthanasians since way back. Once they are sure that a tribesman is possessed of a djinn (evil spirit), they bump him off. Everybody (in the Otoros), of course, is quite certain that djinns inhabit the bodies of the lame, the deaf and the dumb...

The "but" was implicit in what would happen if the Russians (and the French) still refused to come in. The merger puts the U.S. and Britain in effective, working control of two-thirds of Germany's population, three-fourths of her industrial resources. Most top U.S. officials believe that the Soviet Union, left with...
