...Smith succeeded in calming them only with his declaration of independence. Now the small group of European extremists thinks that free from interference by Britain they can develop the country in the most "sensible" way for both Europeans and Africans. In their alarm they have jumped from the frying pan into the fire of world opinion.

...connections in Singapore's black market. While senior officers mope around in rags, King wears spruce khaki laundered by hired flunkies. Those who serve him may hate him, but they seldom die of malnutrition; and King measures out his hoarded foodstuffs so shrewdly that the odor of two pan-fried eggs can provoke a moral crisis. Actor George Segal makes King a thoroughgoing conman-all smiles and treachery, eyes darting at every man he meets, ferreting out the Achilles' heel in order to slap a price...
