Patriarch Nakayama & party heartily enjoy the U.S., especially relishing strawberry ice cream, roast beef and fried chicken but regretting the lack of good boiled rice. The Patriarch greatly desired to go to Chicago by airplane but his five secretaries put their feet down. "Suppose you crashed?" said they. In Manhattan Patriarch Nakayama thrice visited the Empire State Building. He admired St. Patrick's Cathedral because he believes Tenrikyo has much in common with Roman Catholicism - its ritual is complicated and he as Patriarch wears elaborate robes.

...delightful travel book the air demons of Latin America-those of the Inca and those of Pan American Airways. Some impressions of this traveled and tolerant man who thinks in the international terms of shillings, feet and quintals and who sees nothing that he does not somehow cherish and enjoy: The great fortress-like grain elevators of Buenos Aires, and the secluded ladies placidly reading novels in their gardens.

Weaving among spruce citizens and loutish peasants, whirling to the strains of native music, they had just begun to enjoy themselves when suddenly at 10 p. m. explosion after explosion tore the air, broke windows and set women screaming as flames leaped up into the night. "Mother of God it's the President's Palace!" cried husky voices. "A Revolution! They've blown up the President!" Pale but courageous...
...even ... at 10,000 feet, and if we tried a mere peep through windows our eyes were scorched and our heads swam. Of course, to add to the discomfort, it was rough as the dickens. . ." After two scorching days & nights, the weather turned cool and cloudy. They began to enjoy themselves. Near Juba the pilot banged a bell thrice. Game! Fourteen passengers whooped with excitement, flattened their noses against the windows as the ship's nose went down. They saw a herd of about 200 elephants of assorted sizes; then another, then a third. "Can you imagine our feelings...
