During his stay, Selassie met with the ailing Bustamante, who is almost blind from cataracts, received an LL.D. degree from Kingston's University of the West Indies and visited Montego Bay. In an address to the Jamaican Parliament in Gordon House, he vaguely held out the hint of aid. "We must expand material and other cooperation," he said. "We must remember that many states today representing major parts of the world were once weak, but through a process of assimilation and combination have become strong...

He squints blatantly at the prompter cards, purposely blows lines. He ignores taboos to snigger at his own gags, bravo his own songs. "This kid's come a long way," he says of himself.
