...adds that Dirksen "likes to sit out on the terrace with a bourbon in one hand and a BB gun in the other to shoo the squirrels away from the seeds he puts out for the birds." The Dirksens resist dinner invitations, and keep their own entertaining informal. One fellow Senator had to cook his own chicken at a Dirksen party, and guests on another occasion picked the fruit to be served at their meal.

In a speech designed to upstage Kaunda, who was scheduled to deliver a nationwide address that afternoon, Kapwepwe complained that he was the victim of "mudslinging in the press," that government ministers were rude and abusive, and that his fellow Bembas were being discriminated against.

Nelson Bond, in a short story called The Cunning of the Beast, published in 1942 told about a weak-bodied, high-minded scientist named the Yawa Eloem who tried to create intelligent animals to serve his fellow academicians on the distant planet that was their home. But the servants rebelled, got into the Yawa Eloem's private laboratory, and learned how to do evil. His colleagues decided to punish Dr. Eloem by sending him off in a spaceship to a far corner of the universe, accompanied by his creations-Adam...
