Night & Day. Oscar figures that interesting stripers bite mainly at night near high tide. By day, the sight of seagulls gliding over the water at close to stalling speed told him that schools of feeding fish (silversides, English herring, mullet) were boiling along the surface, and that stripers might be right behind. At no time did Oscar go more than ankle deep into the surf-believing, with his kind, that it is sinful for man to disturb the striper's water.

Several thousand refugees from the rule of his great friend Tito are due to be deported back to Yugoslavia soon. Chinese envoys, disguised as journalists, have already arrived in Addis Ababa in hopeful anticipation of Ethiopian diplomatic recognition of Red China. And some time next year, the Emperor has been warned to expect a visit from Communism's senior traveling salesman, Nikita Khrushchev himself...
