...your capacity of chief party trouble maker in the Senate you have said some things which have made me lay down my newspaper and turn to a fresh pipe of tobacco for consolation. This very generous and considerate article has antidoted all things that have gone before...

It's getting to the point in Africa where no zebra can take a drink without suddenly perceiving the camera click in the bushes of the water hole.

The scenes that remain indelibly on the mind after seeing "The Lower Depths" were...
