But the cables from Cairo carried word that Nasser's Arab unity scheme was in a state of collapse. Reluctantly, Egypt's leader boarded a plane and headed across the Mediterranean to deal with his troublemaking partners, the Syrians...
Predictably, there were those interested in bending the conference to their own ends: Ghana's Nkrumah sent a 120-member delegation piling into Addis Ababa complete with a high-life dance band. Osagyefo would be peddling his pet scheme for a bicameral all-Africa parliament and other similar quickie approaches to a unified Africa.

Nothing could attest more profoundly to the extraordinary eclectic potentialities of the Jamesian scheme or to its capacity to effect cultural rapprochement. But in a society where not knowing what to do or believe seems a much graver problem than not knowing how to do it, the triadic model has further importance. For James the test of a belief is its consequences for action and the test of an action, its consequences for pure experience. He starts with pure...
