When the Cliffies learned of their error, they shrugged their shoulders and turned back to Rad Lib. The formal opening was postponed to a later data...
...major faction. Wheeling and dealing as if every card were a wild deuce, Tshombe seemed to hold a royal flush ranging from Kasai's rightist "King" Albert Kalonji through such "moderate" face cards as Army Boss Joseph Mobutu and Justice Minister Justin Bomboko to the Communist-backed National Lib eration Committee's Andre Lubaya.

Between engagements, she has an oddly energetic pastime for a 15-stone woman who coyly says "I'm about ten pounds overweight": she goes off with her musical director and longtime friend Ernest Wampola (a Viennese doctor of music) on camping trips in the bush country of central Africa, where she fishes and photographs game. She has caught tiger fish in the Chobe River in Bechuanaland and fat, Dark Continent catfish in Southern Rhodesia...
