The same menacing tone was in the voice of Kenya's President Jomo Kenyatta, who warned that "non-Kenyans, however rich, who ridicule the laws of the country, practice cat-and-mouse friendship and insult Africans will be ordered to pack up and go home."

Even the disappointments have not been total. The personal tyranny of Ghana's Nkrumah has been...
There are men in Hendrik Verwoerd's government who lack the statesmanship of Houphouet-Boigny, Nyerere, or Kenyatta. But had these African leaders grown up in South Africa, their abilities would never have been known. They would have been bank clerks, messengers-or in jail...
