As for Kenya's President Jomo Kenyatta, Big Daddy boasted: "He is one of my best friends." Amin also paid curious tribute to Britain's Prime Minister Edward Heath, whom he described as "one of the best Prime Ministers. He is like Hitler, really tough. I admire him." As newsmen laughed, Big Daddy corrected himself, "I mean like Churchill...
