Selling for $5.98 apiece, the two "photomensional" albums (a dozen old and new songs in each) are packaged in bakery boxes, the sort crumb cake comes in. Visible through a large round cellophane inset are F. & F.'s Vinylite heads, whose unblemished cheeks are supposed to feel like skin but actually feel like soapstone and smell like Mr. Clean. Each idol is mounted on a cardboard plaque covered with artificial suede and can be hung by a brass ring on a bedroom wall...

...junkets are free, the rice wine good, and the propaganda heady for the delegates of emerging young nations whose economic problems and recent revolutionary triumphs seem so similar to those Red China itself has experienced. Yellow skin is also an advantage in places where the classic colonialist enemy bears a clear Caucasian label. Feted in Peking two months ago, Guinea's Sékou Touré seemed more cordially at ease than he was on his later visit to Moscow...
