...group, only four spoke English well, Vlasenko, Krivopalov, Voschinin, and philogy student Elvira Astafyeva, and as might be expected they often were the most popular with students. A special word must be said for Vlasenko who perhaps won the hearts of a score of Radcliffe girls with his charm...

Once again the colony's leading political party, Abako, was up to its old tricks of playing upon the superstitions of the ignorant. In the port of Matadi, 160 miles southwest of Léopoldville, 400 Congolese were suddenly overcome by hysteria after listening to a sermon by one of the many "apostles" of Kibangu, a "black savior" who died in 1951 but is expected by his followers to return one day and drive out the white...
