Clausen offers his ritual bull's-eyes to Colquhoun, but later makes the agonized confession that he has been an all-night sucker for the beastly magic of a local witch doctor. Hoping to bridge the gulf between European and African knowledge, he has dabbled in mysterious rites (in one, a man was burned to death by no visible flame) and is now desperately afraid for his soul. The fate of this jungle Dr. Faustus is sealed in what the press calls "the great Clausen scandal." Kenya-raised Novelist Huxley (Red Strangers, The Walled City) has written a literate...

But the hep types filling Royal Festival Hall screamed and stomped for more. (One of the most insistent: the rock-'n'-rolling Duke of Kent.) Unable to calm the wild beasts in order to start the finale, Maestro Del Mar and his boys straggled into...
