...Nairobi Airport, the last British combat troops-80 in all- slow-marched through ranks of the native Third Kenya Rifles to the strains of Auld Lang Syne, then were whisked away aboard an R.A.F. transport. That midnight, before 50,000 in a Nairobi stadium, Kenyatta's new presidential stand ard was unfurled-crossed spears super imposed on a tribal shield, flanked by a crowing cock...
With their usual flare for understatement, some critics called the director of M, Fritz Lang, "th greatest of the great." He certainly belongs in the company of brilliant German directors like Wiene, Pabst, and Marnau.

Auld Lang Syne used to be the national anthem,*the Mother Hubbard is the prescribed dress for women, and the primary means of transportation are outriggers and baggalas, which resemble a cross between a Chinese junk and a Spanish galleon. Crime in the Maldives (rhymes with bald wives) is virtually unknown, and once a year most...
