Those who have read the book will be tempted to cherish Soyinka less as a Nobel laureate and more as an eager 4yearold so enthralled by his first glimpse of a parade that he followed it  barefoot  all the way to the next village.Ak?? ends just as young Wole is heading off to study at a school run by Nigeria's colonial government, old enough to feel the way that British rule chafed at his elders. So it is fitting that You Must Set Forth At Dawn, the second volume of Soyinka's memoirs, picks up his story in 1960, the year of Nigeria's independence, and also the moment at which Soyinka, now a young adult, is returning to Nigeria after studies at a British university.It was a time, Soyinka tells us, when the gods were still only in a state of hibernation. As the recipient of a Rockefeller fellowship, Soyinka was given the means to travel throughout Nigeria, studying traditional festivals and forms of drama. Soon, how

 The last American hostages were released in 1991, and there has been no major terrorist incident since that time. Indeed, recognizing the improved conditions, Washington discontinued the temporary protected status which allowed Lebanese citizens to take refuge in the US.Certainly, there is still risk in Lebanon. But it is dramatically less than that in Algeria, Somalia, or Bosnia, where Americans are free to travel. One US entrepreneur who defied the travel ban to go to Lebanon quipped about his personal safety, I had thought about taking a bulletproof vest, but the biggest problem we had was getting seats in a restaurant.The fact is, Americans are visiting Lebanon in increasing numbers  and in safety. Lebanese missions in the US issued 25,000 visas to US citizens in 1994. These visas are issued on a separate piece of paper, shielding travelers from a technical violation of the US restriction on using their passport.In his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the newly named US amb

But independents and voters worried about the economy propelled Senator Edwards to a surprisingly strong secondplace showing. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean finished a distant third.The results are likely to shift the dynamics of the race, with Kerry and Edwards now entering into essentially a twoman contest, heading into the 10 states that are set to vote on March 2. The outcome of those Super Tuesday primaries could prove decisive for the Massachusetts senator  or could recast the race altogether.Kerry still aheadTo be sure, Kerry remains the prohibitive frontrunner.

With long missions such as the recent tour in Kuwait, Anderson says he is about 10 pilots short for his 40 flying slots.It used to be that we would receive several calls a week from activeduty pilots wanting to find a home in the National Guard, says Anderson. Now, those calls are few and far between.Moreover, Anderson and his colleagues know long overseas tours will probably come up again in the near future. They are among a handful of Guard Apache units who are likely to be recalled to the Balkans or Middle East.At the same time, these tours are becoming more and more dangerous. Capt. Scott Bridgers, a former Air Force pilot who now flies for the Guard full time, says Iraq was a war zone. The Iraqis launched few surfacetoair missiles, but they fired antiaircraft guns every day.Captain Bridgers had a scare one day, wandering into an intense array of flak. On another mission, he discovered a surfacetoair missile battery and destroyed it.Onequarter of the
