Ghana seeks hard cash as US loans fail to spark uptake
Ghana, facing hard currency drought after Kwame Nkrumah's ouster, remains unable to convert U S loans into broad use for buying American goods.

Abner J. Mikva, newly arrived from Chicago, describes Congress as daunting and fast moving. He plans to replace urgency for seniority with energy and brashness to serve his 475,000 district.

Wind socks costly and politics of alliances described
Bonn reports wind socks on the bridge to Fedmara island were removed due to expense after repeated wind damage. The piece also notes how politicians build alliances, sponsor bills, and gain trust by showing reliability, with quotes on avoiding accusations of freelancing or recklessness. It adds a brief tidbit that about one in three dogs is purebred, with both parents of the same breed and unmixed ancestry.
