...blue and white DC-7 skimmed clear of the sand dunes surrounding Somalia's primitive Mogadishu Airport, then wheeled out over the Indian Ocean toward Asia. In his chartered KLM air liner, Red China's Premier Chou Enlai, his hard face lined and bloodless, watched Africa drop behind him. In the course of his 53-day safari, he had toured ten nations, ranging from so traditional a monarchy as Morocco to so Red-hot a republic as Ghana, with time out for a side trip to Albania...

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.

...most reluctant rubberneck in Egypt last week was Communist China's Premier Chou Enlai. Granted only three sessions with President Nasser during his week's sojourn in Cairo, Chou was propelled relentlessly through the list of VIP tourist attractions: an automobile plant, a museum, Egypt's military academy, the Aswan Dam. When his hosts insisted on a close-up inspection of the Sphinx, Chou asked plaintively: "Do I have to go? I've already seen it from a distance...
