Williams Faces Strong Challenge in Trinidad Election Fight
In Port of Spain Prime Minister Eric Williams seeks re election after a 1966 victory amid a crisis that sparked a mutiny and Black Power links. A special court martial spans 13 officers and troops with 50 others awaiting trial as waves of unrest from last spring still affect politics. The government eased a state of emergency and released several Black Power leaders while opposition voices including Lloyd Best and Dr. James Millette push for change.
