...wallow in me!" trumpets Harris, and he does indeed: he wades hippo-deep through the rank mud of his loopy monologues. The generously muscled O'Keeffe utters not an intelligible word-only Tarzan's patented bull-elephant yodel. As for Bo's acting, she sucks in her stomach to look pretty and chews her cuticles to suggest fear. Alas, all the displays of Bo's body cannot divert attention from the ludicrous ineptness of the enterprise. Nothing breaks a tumid erotic spell faster than giggling...
...himself the creature would hardly have been a match for a hippo or any other large animal he might have encountered. Scarcely 5 ft. tall, he probably weighed no more than 120 lbs.

Several black reporters said they heard police officers exhorting Zulus to "go out and kill" their enemies, but one police chief branded this "an infamous lie." At the least, some Soweto residents said, the police watched from their antiriot Hippo vehicles without taking action as the Zulu warriors scoured the streets and burst into homes in search of what they called "cheeky children." lames Kruger, South Africa's tough Minister of Justice, denied this. "The Zulus have been harassed and have banded together to defend themselves and their property...
