...Nationalist Kenneth Kaunda alongside white supremacists and Uncle Toms. To protest, 15 African girls pranced into the Build a Nation office last week. When the manager refused to remove Kaunda's picture, off came their clothes. Buff naked, the strippers danced about and chanted: "Kaunda, Kaunda, Freedom now, cha cha cha." Local cops finally arrived, wrapped blankets around the freedom writhers and hustled them off to the clink...
...everywhere; the party no longer even attempts to suppress it. "Moscow bands play a solid repertory of Western numbers. When the bands stop playing, they switch on tape recordings made from broadcasts of Music U.S.A., a Voice of America program." Latin American music-the samba, the mambo, the cha cha cha-is also popular, often under the guise of "native folk dances" of Cuba, Russia's Communist friend.

...goes there on holiday with her mother, who falls seriously ill on the way and is rushed off to the nearest hospital. Joss (Susannah York) and the three smaller children put up at a pretty pension in the country-actually a small chaāteau done over. Drōle de ménage. The mistress of the establishment, a pretty spinster (Danielle Darrieux) of a certain age, is in love with the star boarder (Kenneth More), a dashing Englishman who instantly appoints himself acting uncle to the children, fighting their battles with the help and taking them for drives...
