...that black soldiers will find that they owe higher fealty to the black community than to the U.S. Army. "The problem is so fearful," admits one officer, "that we won't even discuss these people as Negroes."

Visiting such youngsters is out of the question, since no Tibetan may travel more than two miles without a permit.

After he outlined his intentions and explained the terrain, Producer David Seltzer concluded that U.S. cameramen were out of the question ("Those American prima donnas would have been on strike an hour after they got here"). Seltzer recruited a Dutch crew and 21 African assistants. The expedition could have saved thousands of dollars and two weeks' time by flying directly into the lake from Nairobi. But Holden and Seltzer ruled...
