The nation has been one of Africa's brighter stars, a favored foreign-investment and tourism destination, where the economy grew an estimated 6.2% last year. When Kibaki was elected President five years ago on promises to end government corruption, crowds of close to 1 million cheered at his swearing-in ceremony...

The insects and the infiltrators were put back into the enclosure, except this time one of their hiding places was more lightly tinted than the other: It was brighter inside. Again, all the roaches scurried around randomly for a while, but the robots eventually settled under the lighter, less shadowy disk - and the real cockroaches followed.
