Under a blue velvet sky of a summer's evening lies Los Angeles' broad La Cienega Boulevard, a street of restaurants in unearthly shapes, of neon in colors not known elsewhere, of low white buildings-a street, in sum, of vast self-assurance.

Bantu men looking for British respectability in their attire have long bought the most expensive clothes they could afford. Mkele suggested that stores also stock "a dignity bag in the form of a reasonably priced attaché case." When they hit the Bantu market, the attaché cases sold like-well, like attaché cases sell along the New Haven Railroad...
