...outdoor relaxation, there is nothing Dwight Eisenhower would rather do than tee up a golf ball and whap it down a fairway. For indoor escape from tension, he likes a few rubbers of bridge. In the White House, Saturday night is usually bridge night. The evening begins about 5 o'clock, in the solarium on the White House roof, is interrupted for a snack or buffet supper, then may continue down in Ike's second-floor study until 10 or 10:30. Guests arriving for a bridge date are likely to find the host waiting for them...

It was the Crown Colony's portable gallows, an 18th century-style instrument used to dispatch Mau Mau terrorists near the scene of their crimes...
...morning of execution, five armed warders and an African priest entered the death cell. The murderers chucked them out and, screaming like madmen, attacked the cell walls with bleeding hands and feet. After two hours' battering, the eight frightened convicted men burst out on to the fairway. They found themselves in the middle of a square of 100 armed policemen, with rifles at the ready...
