...government he produced last week was hardly reconciled. Tshombe himself described it as one of mere "public salvation," and the few names recognizable within it were more notorious than noteworthy: as Agriculture Minister he chose Kasai's Mulopwe (god-emperor) Albert Kalonji, a secessionist right-winger who is still formally charged by Adoula's government with torturing political prisoners. The new Health Minister is none other than Andre´ Lubaya, a key official in the Communist-backed National Liberation Committee, which runs the Congo's endemic provincial rebellions.

It was a time, Sachs recalls, when young men like himself sat on bar stools at Le Boeuf sur le Toit eying the great-Picasso, Cocteau, Milhaud, Satie, Radiguet-like "some Chinese under the Empire viewing the Emperor's sacred Body."
