Stewart also contributes the only creative work of the issue, a sort of opium illusion called "A Mango For Emelina." Magnolia-mashed Colonel Ashcroft ("a memento of a dead nation's long ago Armageddon") stalks to a garden rendezvous with his boyhood love, Emelina. As he bends to kiss...
Ricardo Montalban, as Koli, fills the role, but with nothing special. He has one good song, a Calypso mockery of mankind called "Monkey in a Mango Tree." Josephine Premice, as the opportunistic second-to-most-eligible female around, is first rate, especially in "Leave the Atom Alone," an amusing try by the show's authors to be socially significant. Ossie Davis does well as her occasional beau, Erik Rhodes as the exaggerated British governor of the island, Augustine as a lovable urchin, and Adelaide Hall as a homey, cloud-reading sage...

They are a hardworking, hard-drinking crew, and they have plenty...
...tropical sun. Each morning, thousands of Negroes bicycle into downtown Leo to work in the shipyards and offices. Evenings, they stream homeward to the jumble of shacks, tenements, modern homes and tastefully built hospitals that make up "black Leo." In the darkness, millions of candles glow under the mango trees where Negro market women do a roaring trade in bread, beer and dried fish, green-and-brown-striped caterpillars (a delicacy when fried in deep fat) and blackened lumps of elephant meat...
