Johnson has traveled widely, but the image he always projected was of a hearty backslapper who stopped to chat with a sidewalk watermelon vendor in Beirut, who invited a Pakistani camel driver to "come and see us, heah?" and who gave out ballpoint pens wherever he went. "He shakes hands with everybody," said a Thai clerk after Johnson stormed Bangkok, "no matter if they are dirty or what." Johnson knows scores of foreign leaders, but their meetings rarely went much beyond the handshaking technique that he calls "pressing the flesh and looking them...

Between them, they constituted one of the world's noisiest Parliaments. Each speaker was greeted with cries of "Heah, heah" from his friends and derisory shouts of "Sit down, you wretched fool" from his foes; from the rostrum came the perennial plea for "Odah, odah!"
