Africans went all out to accommodate vacationing King Frederik IX of Denmark. Kilaguni Lodge in Kenya's big-game country even had a special 7-ft. bed of mahogany-like m'vuli wood built for the towering (6 ft. 3½ in.) monarch. Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere gave Frederik and his Queen Ingrid glasses for their coconut milk, but Nyerere himself took an opened shell, tipped back his head and showed them how it ought to be done...
...continent into the same sort of bloody border wars that plagued South America in the 19th century. In its founding meeting in 1963, the 41-nation Organization of African Unity adopted in principle the concept that the borders should remain as they are. As Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere said, "Our boundaries are so absurd that they must be regarded as sacrosanct." By the same token, the O.A.U. has also condemned secessionist movements.

...opportunity for a diplomat to get out of the embassy compound and rub elbows with the common people, cultural exchange, that kind of thing." A congressional committee meeting in its ornate chambers to investigate a student uprising is like "chasing S.D.S. across America in an 1890 Pullman car." Judge Julius Hoffman of the Chicago conspiracy trial is "the teeny judge, who bounces up and down on his bench so that he looks like a small girl in an oversized dress playing in her father's chair." Says Von Hoffman: "I don't want people to think...
