What thoughts pass through the minds of Samburu, Turkana, Wakamba or Masai tribesmen as they watch the white man harried by the hitherto despised and pacific Kikuyu?

This will bring this Fuller idea closer to practical use and success than most; it has hitherto been the fate of most of Bucky's dreams to blow up when the attempt was made to connect them to the surging voltages of everyday life. This has never troubled Bucky. No matter what happens on earthly levels, his mind goes its own soaring way. Currently it is full...
