Casting briefly, he soon hooked and netted a 12-in. specimen, later beamed upon it as if it were at least a 12-ft. marlin...
Adjoining "white Leo" is the teeming "native town," known to the Negroes as Le Beige. Without its 350,000 Africans, Leopoldville would crumble in the tropical sun.

A steady stream of people who want their teeth cleaned or checked prevent him from getting an appointment when he needs one. As a provisional solution, the Dental Clinic might leave some time open each day for only the more serious cases, and if necessary, might refer to outside dentists some of the students with routine problems. This solution would not be so satisfactory as universal false teeth, but it might prevent some unnecessary gnashing and gnawing...
