Admittedly, the French are hard at work on an atomic bomb of their very own, though once they explode it over the Sahara, they won't have it anymore. A cartoon last summer depicted an angular de Gaulle, clad in intrepid explorer togs, leading a safari of equally angular Africans, who carried on their heads a single oversized bomb. The caption read "La France va disposer de la bombe atomique," (France will dispose of the atomic bomb), a direct quotation from a de Gaulle address...
Ireland's tosspot Playwright-Autobiog-rapher Brendan Behan, a portly 36, tippy-toed back into London, whose citizens he treated last July to the spectacle of one of the most monumental binges of modern times. Proudly proclaimed Wife Beatrice, who did not accompany Behan on his summer pub safari: "He's been off the gargle for a week or two. He's been very good."

The animals in East Africa's national parks, secure in the protection...
...swarming hunters have forced the local governments to impose restrictions to prevent depletion of game, and many an old hand mourns the change. One of them is Columnist Robert Ruark, who is respected by white hunters as one of the few sharpshooters among the amateurs. Currently on safari in Kenya, Ruark writes: "I should think it likely that this will be my last proper big safari, and the thought grieves me. What I bemoan mainly is the loss of the old, wild freedom when you could take off in almost any direction and find something exciting without having to check...
