In the left-leaning police state of Ghana, meanwhile, there was worse trouble for TIME Correspondent James Wilde, who flew down from Paris to cover the African junket of Red Chinese Premier Chou Enlai.

His New Year's Eve began at the workers' club of the Stalin textile plant, where Chou and his tubby Foreign Minister Chen Yi joined hands with Hoxha and other Albanian greeters to whirl gaily through local folk dances. Seeking more merriment, the group moved on to an army officers' club, where Chen Yi burbled: "Words fail me in this ocean of friendship!" and later to a party at the headquarters of the Artists and Writers Union.
