In 29 years as Premier, Salazar has never wavered in his belief that Portugal is unready for democracy; he tolerates the appearance of elections, as a government official admitted, only in hopes of satisfying world opinion that he need not fear taking his policies...
Nkrumah's cleanup is only a cover-up for Ghana's woes. Paced by left-wing extremists, Ghana is racing toward dictatorship and bankruptcy. Opposition to the regime has become explosive. Last week bomb blasts shattered Osagyefo's 1½ times life-size statue outside Parliament...
