Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere, most influential of the front-line Presidents, challenged this view, insisting that black majority rule must come immediately. Mozambique's President Samora Machel, host to the largest band (5,000 to 8,000) of Rhodesian guerrillas, said he would continue to support "armed struggle by the gallant freedom fighters of Zimbabwe [the black African name for Rhodesia] until the day independence is achieved." Ian Smith was grousing that Kissinger's package deal included an end to guerrilla warfare and international sanctions. To make matters worse, after a week-long conference in Mozambique...
...notion of the council of state as supreme, the allotment of the two security ministries to whites, and Smith's inference that the new constitution would be drawn up inside Rhodesia. They also wanted greater speed: "We are talking about majority rule in four to six weeks," said Julius Nyerere, "with the formation of an interim government." Nyerere also noted wryly that Smith had ended his TV speech with Churchill's famous line: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.

Five thousand Rhodesian insurgents are training in Tanzanian camps...
Nkomo has strong support in the rural tribal regions and a tightly organized core of followers elsewhere. He is a friend of Zambia's Kenneth Kaunda, Tanzania's Julius Nyerere and Botswana's Seretse Khama, and he is at least on speaking terms with the front-line five's two Marxist firebrands, Samora Machel of Mozambique and Agostinho Neto of Angola. With ties to both the minority Matabele and majority Mashona tribes and a solid political organization all over Rhodesia, Nkomo seems well placed...
...complex mathematical composite of twelve* important economic indicators. Of these three were largely responsible for the drop: the layoff rate in the manufacturing sector (it rose), the length of the average work week, and the dollar value; of contracts and orders for new plan and equipment (both declined). But Julius Shiskin, commissioner of labor statistics, believes there are technical aberrations in the layoff and work-week statistics and that after recalculation they will be corrected for the better. Other factors taking the sting out of the August index drop: the decline in new orders followed a strong surge in July...
