"Da Doctor" is a self-assured smooth talker, a "Rastafarian who smoke da ganga anywhere, anytime." Along with his potentsmelling crop, Fabulous deals out lines like "Da doctor needs his patient," and "I am da backbone of Jamaica."

...years he has served as official understudy. The two share the same basic political values: moderation, a Western bent, a fervent embrace of peace. But as individuals, they are more disparate than kindred. While the King is a master of instinct, the prince is a bookish sort.
