...most like Heaven is a crowded streetcar. By these standards, the opening of Manhattan's new El Morocco last week was crowded enough to be Paradise, but with not quite the same crowd that the clergyman had in mind. Sequined, sheathed and chinchillaed, they made up such a jam of international jetters that there was scarcely room for another square-cut diamond. There wasn't room, in fact, for Princess Lee Radziwill to get in the door; the bigger Begum Aga Khan managed it, but she had to have a table set for her on a landing...
...celebrations in Nairobi featured a marathon run by Ethiopia's Olympic Winner Abebe Bikila, feathered tribal dancers, and Guinea's Ballets Africains, which offered only one disappointment-the girls wore brassieres. For all the festive folderol, Kenyans were less than delirious-they are waiting for the jam in jamhuri. A year of independence has brought more problems than prosperity. Kenyatta remains one of Black Africa's more responsible statesmen, and he retains some ties with the West-in one case literally: Kenya's latest postage stamp shows Jomo wearing his old school tie, that...

But is the aim of the civil rights movement to flaunt our superior moral understanding in the face of the long-standing traditions of the South? It seems...
...cleaning ladies leave their office buildings and Broadway's still a traffic jam. An hour later the drunks roar in bars and continue until 4 when they're spewn upon the city streets and gobbled, many of them, by pimps and whores who've waited all night for their exodus. Night club shows end earlier, threeisn, a fine time for a walking tour of midtown. By five the bartenders are wending homeward, and pigeons strut unchallenged down Park Avenue. Head over to Fulton Street Market and have an-early seafood breakfast with rubber-booted fishermen at Sloppy Louie...
