Not only did Godfrey overcome serious communications hazards to beam regular bureeek reports back home for his millions of listeners but, where Stanley merely found Livingstone, Godfrey & Friends achieved the heretofore unheard-of feat of introducing underarm deodorant to the people of the Dark Continent.
