" Permission to leave had come so belatedly that Trin alone still wore his purple episcopal cassock, topped with a borrowed scarlet cape and sash...
...policy speech reading the riot act to southern Africa's white minority regimes, friendly talks with black moderates and a long tēte-å-tēte with Senegal's Poet-President Leopold Sen-ghor-not to mention the prescribed attack of gastroenteritis, glimpses of giant cape buffalo bellowing in the moonlight and a cargo hold full of souvenirs in the big U.S. Air Force 707.

In fact, Carl Gustaf probably felt more like a tired tourist than Europe's youngest monarch. Now in the middle of a month-long U.S. tour, the King had gone to the San Francisco Bay Area for a 48-hour visit that included one consular banquet, an evening of disco dancing, a tour of the University of California at Berkeley, a quick look at San Francisco's new subway system, and lunch with Swedish-born Rudolph...
