Gourdfuls of Beer. Odinga, touring the countryside in his black Mercedes, tried to win the voters with promises of free land, free education and jobs for everybody. He also worked the stale vein of antiwhite chauvinism. "The country is under the thumb of the Europeans," he charged. "Kenyatta is told what to do by the Americans.

Flowing through industrial flats and woodsy hills, on a bottom composed of two centuries of solidified human rubbish, it is often studded with beer cans, packing crates and half-submerged logs.
