The boded States, a lot wiser since he .Angola debacle where it let the Russians and Cubans grab a beachhead in Africa, is not falling for Smiths game.

So the Smith plan will go nowhere The violence will be escalated as Mugabe's and Nkomo's armies retaliate for Smiths assaults into Mozambique. We may yet see a Soviet Cuban involvement. If Only He Meant It The pity is that embodied in Smith's e cf acceptance there is a formula for ending the if only Smith meant it. That carnage formula is to hand peacefully to the black majority a proper role in governing, with blacks guaranteeing before the world that they will not abuse and persecute white Rhodesians in the ways that blacks have been brutalized. one-ma- one-vot- Is it reasonable to accept such black guarantees? Let us not foiget that Kenya was the scene of Mau Mau violence before independence, but once Jomo Kenyatta won justice for blacks he saw that justice was done to Kenya's whiles. The question in Rhodesia is whether Smith will play his slick games to the point where this incredibly beautiful area. Zimbabwe, becomes a cruel land where the ultimately dominant race must decide that there is no room for the other. (Copyright i Co The plot was excellent, too: Who got what in the O'Hare Deal? Where were all the millions going? Every good mystery needs a spcii.il twist. And it came on the night of Nov. 10, when suddenly an old station wagon vanished while it contained four boxes of financial records on the night before the sleuths were to examine them. Records that were essential to the investigation.

Or red Actually, any color for her coat would do. as long as she was wearing dark boots, was astonglasses and knee-higishingly beautiful, and was seen speeding away in the station wagon the night it disappeared If they really put their minds to it. they could have blamed it on a mysterious man weartng a broad bnmmed fedora turned all the way down, a long trench coat and heels that clicked in the night, and who spoke with a Baltic accent. Or why not a fat man with a sinister laugh, accompanied by a small, slight man with bulging eyes, a nervous manner and a Hungarian accent? They could have appeared out of a fog and driven the ear into the same. Bearded Man Better yet, it could have been a tall bearded man with a limp, who was wearing a battered old merchant seamans jacket, a black knit cap, an evil smile, and a vicious monkey perched on lus shoulder. Even someone who looked like a W'est Bide precinct captain would have been adequate. But three Puerto Rican dishwashers7 Is that the way one of the finest mysteries weve seen since Tom Keane used to make city streets disappear is supposed to end? if three Fuerto Rican kitchen helpers did indeed stop showing up for work at Henelys restaurant, there is no mystery to it. Every year at about this time, several thousand dishwashers disappear. It starts snowing, so they fly home to visit relatives. Sheer Genius I dont understand it. Henely is creative enough to have dreamed up the whole Airline Canteen plot in the first place, with a little help from some d friends. His sidekick, the dapper Andre, had the sheer genius to have his car stolen with the records in the back. How could their creative juices have dried up so quickly? Maybe it is only a temporary lapse Something like writer's block. Im sure that if they try again, they can get the story line going again. It was the night of Nov. 10. An eerie light appeared in the sky above a suburban restaurant. Suddenly a metal object strange, saucer-shape- d hovered only a few feet above the parked cars. A small, green toad-lik- e creature peered out. Zuuup! There goes the station wagon. And everybody knows that on their planet, the green creatures eat nothing but financial records. h well-place- (Copyright! Angeles Times wkibizS Of Youre gonna love our I Great Lift! Car.
