...feast that tastes like a spicy meat sandwich. Morocco serves mint tea and pastry ($1) in carpeted tents. Try the Belgian Village's crepe-suzette shop where a Grand Marniered pancake costs 75?, or India's chicken pakora and clay-oven-baked bread (45?) served on the lawn by a turbaned chef. International Plaza, a noisy cluster of small shops and food stands, offers a culinary Cook's Tour that takes only a few steps. Colombian tacos (75?) can be washed down with Philippine beer (70?), Ecuadorian banana dogs (50?) with Brazilian coffee (15?), Tunisian nougatine...

Premier Moise Tshombe grinned, clapped his new government on the back, and capered with flailing fists in a mad jig down the bright green lawn as his admirers screamed their approval: "Down with Adoula and vive Tshombe." Thus the Congo's fourth Premier in as many years began his rule...
