After Edinburgh and a three-month, 12,000-mile tour of Western Europe, Moyers entered Fort Worth's Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Or, for that matter, an electric singer...
Fantasy completely takes over when the consort, on a world tour, stops at the Backward Islands, a tropical paradise ruled by a plump old bawd of an empress who believes that her subjects should do what comes naturally. What comes most naturally is dancing, making love, and drinking; and once he gets the hang of it, the consort finds he has a natural bent for doing the same thing. He beds down with a nubile native girl named Tia and sends the royal yacht home without him. Soon three gung-ho paratroopers arrive by helicopter and forcibly take the consort...
