...didn't even have to go deep into the bush around Nairobi to trap her trophies but found them already wrapped, breast-high, around the ladies in the mud huts. To them, the kikoi was only a brightly colored piece of cloth, good enough to wear to market, but nothing a native would get restless about. Stunning, thought Jenny Bell, and bought some, intending to turn them into tablecloths. But back in Manhattan, she realized that the Kenya hutwives had been right all along: the kikois were dashing as dresses. She ran up a few tentative models, found...
...homecoming week for the hawks of the Congo. On foot and on bicycles, in rickety lorries or astride crimson farm tractors, some 6,000 of Moise Tshombe's former secessionist gendarmes came swarming out of their hideouts in the bush to march triumphantly through East Katanga's capital of Elisabethville. Another 2,000 - still armed and under the command of white mercenary officers - waited in Angola, just on the other side of the Congolese border, for orders from the Congo's new Premier...

His Much Ado is literal, straightforward, underdirected and onedimensional, which will indicate to any former Payne student that the master has not lost his grip. Some of the actors in Much Ado strike poses like various Barrymores. Small wonder, B. Iden Payne directed Ethel...
...still had Katanga, and without the political support of that ore-packed province the Congo is just another bleak, hopeless stretch of African bush. It was clear that Cyrille Adoula's government could not repress the Communist-backed revolts flaming in three provinces when Tshombe finally returned. Why not let him take a crack at forming a "government of national reconciliation...
