...uncontested right to root in any garden. In Calcutta, great humped Brahman bulls still stalk majestically across streets, bringing traffic to a screeching halt as they nose in a vegetable dealer's baskets.

The different nationalities generally group together. In the pleasant bar, Moslem Somalis sit in one corner drinking Coca-Cola; a group of Kenyans sip martinis, Tanganyikans have their whiskies, and a Uganda engineer drinks beer by himself. All the talk is of politics, both international (a majority held that Khrushchev was right and Eisenhower wrong on the U-2 question) and domestic.
