...mountainous Morocco a respected King died, and a politically uncertain new King succeeded him. Morocco's list of state visitors, past, passing and to come, was a small but significant measure of the new stature of Africa in the world's eyes. Russia's President Leonid Brezhnev had just left; Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito would soon be arriving aboard his state yacht; President Kennedy's personal representative, Averell Harriman, flew in from London; U.S. Special Emissary G.
