...running as an independent, Anderson will be barred from continuing to collect federal matching funds. By law, the cash can go only to the candidates of established parties during the campaign; under the Federal Election Commission's interpretation of the statute, some third-party candidates, but not independents, can pick up matching money after the votes are counted. However, Anderson's fund raisers have put together an imposing mailing list of potential contributors, and appeals to them have drawn donations from as many as 5%, a startling figure (2% to 3% is regarded by experts as good).

They learned that same day that some 270,000 of them will get checks averaging $1,000 each from the state government.

The U.S. will provide only $15 million this year, and is seeking between $25 million and $30 million for fiscal 1981. The United Nations has offered $140 million in refugee aid. Pondering these modest sums, a few Mugabe associates wonder ironically whether this...
