With Western clothes on, the Masai may lose their lucrative business of posing for camera-carrying tourists for a 1-shilling (14?) fee; they adopt a menacing pose for 2 shillings. Nyerere, who himself usually wears a Chinese-style boiler suit, does not seem to care about the tourist revenues that he may lose. His policy reflects not only the prudish nationalism of his socialist state but a black backlash against foreigners who, Mkwang'ata claims, romanticize the Masai as "walking, talking specimens of the noble savage."

...three days that Jacqueline Kennedy spent strolling through the ruins of the 600 temples at Angkor, the noblest remnants of Asia's past, she could almost be the private citizen she wished to be: the ordinary tourist looking, touching and marveling. It was a brief respite, however, on her tour of Cambodian Prince Norodom Sihanouk's Khmer Kingdom (see color opposite).

...American Tourist. The trip was billed simply as the private visit of an American tourist, but of course nothing that Jacqueline Kennedy-or any other Kennedy-does is ever simple or very private. Though the State Department had no hand in promoting the tour, Washington was nonetheless pleased by it, and hoped that it might presage an improvement in American-Cambodian relations, which have been almost nonexistent. Sihanouk broke off relations with the U.S. in 1965, as a protest against the bombing of a Cambodian village by South Vietnamese planes. The U.S., for its part, has repeatedly complained about Cambodia...
