An essential theme of Beti\u2019s early novels, which advocate the removal of all vestiges of colonialism, is the basic conflict of traditional modes of African society with the system of colonial rule. His first important novel, Le Pauvre Christ de Bomba (1956; The Poor Christ of Bomba), satirizes the destructive influence of French Catholic missionary activities in Cameroon. It was followed by Mission termin\u00E9e (1957; also published as Mission to Kala and Mission Accomplished), which attacks French colonial policy through a young man who, upon returning to his village with some hesitation because he has failed his college examinations, discovers himself to be not only revered by the villagers for his achievements but also alienated from their way of life.\nAfter publishing another novel, Beti stopped writing for more than a decade. When he resumed, his criticism focused on the colonial characteristics of Africa\u2019s postindependence regimes. Main basse sur le Cameroun (1972; \u0026ldquo;Rape of Cameroon\u0026rdquo;), a book explaining the emplacement of a neocolonial regime in his homeland, was immediately banned in France and in Cameroon. Two years later he published the novels Perp\u00E9tue et l\u2019habitude du malheur (1974; Perpetua and the Habit of Unhappiness) and Remember Ruben (1974). Perpetua is a mystery story of the murder of a promising young woman by the combined forces of backward traditions and neocolonial evils. Remember Ruben and its sequel, La Ruine presque cocasse d\u2019un polichinelle (1979; \u0026ldquo;The Nearly Comical Ruin of a Puppet\u0026rdquo;), chronicle the fortunes of several revolutionaries who fight against and defeat a French-backed regime in their newly independent country.

He became AFL commissioner in April 1966, and, per Davis\u2019s instructions, AFL teams immediately began signing away some of the NFL\u2019s star players. Davis believed that the AFL was a better product than the NFL and could stand on its own, and his aggressive approach forced the NFL to recognize the growing influence of the younger league. Unbeknownst to Davis, the NFL and a number of AFL owners agreed to merge the two leagues just two months after Davis\u2019s reign as commissioner began.

He won an Academy Award for best original screenplay for  Good Will Hunting (1997).\nDamon was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and attended the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, where he took drama classes. At age 18 he landed a small part in  Mystic Pizza (1988) and also enrolled in Harvard University as an English major. After appearing in the television movie Rising Son (1990), he left Harvard to pursue an acting career just 12 credits short of graduation. Roles in School Ties (1992) and Geronimo: An American Legend (1993) preceded his acclaimed performance as a young soldier forced to testify about a battle during the Persian Gulf War in Courage Under Fire (1996). This portrayal attracted the attention of director  Francis Ford Coppola, who cast Damon as a novice lawyer opposite Danny DeVito in  The Rainmaker (1997).\nAs Damon\u2019s acting career met with success, he also pursued screenwriting. With longtime friend  Ben Affleck, he developed the script for Good Will Hunting (1997). The film\u2014based on a one-act play Damon had submitted for a course at Harvard\u2014centres on a troubled but brilliant high-school dropout from Boston. The coauthors persuaded Miramax to let them star in the movie alongside veteran actor Robin Williams. The film garnered nine Oscar nominations, including best actor for Damon. In 1998, at age 27, he won (with Affleck) the Academy Award for best original screenplay.\nHighly sought after, Damon appeared in numerous movies in the late 1990s, including Rounders (1998), Steven Spielberg\u2019s World War II blockbuster  Saving Private Ryan (1998), and Anthony Minghella\u2019s The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999).
