Colonial Road. But if the setting was imperial, the purpose of last week's meeting was not. Britain's new Colonial Secretary, Iain Macleod, 46, was facing up to his first big challenge, as he sought to guide the African colony of Kenya along the road to full democratic nationhood. The challenge is urgent, since Kenya will soon be entirely surrounded by African-controlled states.

Pretty soon both nurses are sleeping in beds they never made...

As one indication of the new trend in British colonial policy, Prime Minister Macmillan himself drove out to London Airport last week to welcome one of the most outspoken of new African leaders, President Sékou Touré of newly...
