Ghana Bans Animal Farm From Schools
Accra Ghana AP George Orwell’s Animal Farm has been banned from Ghanaian secondary schools by government decree. Critics say the regime of Kwame Nkrumah parallels the novel’s pigs with his Convention People’s Party and state control. Supporters note private enterprise and foreign investment remain, while Nkrumah pursues a nonaligned, socialist path.

Court Finds Electrical Trap Not Illegal In UK Case
England's high court ruled that a man who wired 240 volts to bar his wife from his home did not violate the law. Frederick Munks, 26, was originally convicted under the Offenses Against the Person Act of 1861, but the court said the act covers devices like spring guns or man traps, not electrical setups. In separate U.S. dispatch from Auburndale, Florida, fourteen wild bulls escaped and caused pandemonium as townsfolk intervened and a police cruiser was charged at briefly.
