...more pale carbon copy of The Ugly American. Classified communiques pop up like toast at the breakfast table, a recording device is hidden in a tie clip, new leaders are found by a spin-the-bottle technique, and the real rapport between nations rests on a Jellolike foundation of friendship between Latifundia's President and the American ambassador.

Furthermore, the travel, the friendship of the famous, the adoring crowds and the publicity are heady stimulation to someone who is instinctively a performer. "I'm not the kind of person who would want to confine himself to playing in his own salon," Cliburn admits...
