...More Skunk Fur. Hollywood's old tribal customs and pecking orders are changing, too. The Brown Derby now buzzes with talk of TV, and Gus, its maítre d'hótel, gives his best tables to the TV stars. Tourists who once paid to ogle the movie stars' homes now want to see the live TV shows and ogle the homes of Jack Webb, Lawrence Welk and Liberace...
...savor the exotic culture of the back-country people, the Nixons drove 20 miles from Accra to the hill town of Aburi. The colorfully dressed tribesmen assigned Nixon a mahogany throne. Pat, dandling a native infant on her knee, sat beside him on a smaller throne, watching as the tribal drums thrummed and the natives danced their age-old rituals...
Strijdom has publicized his plan to build new schools, "tribal colleges," for blacks and whites. But the estimated Government subsidization for the white colleges more than triples that for the Africans.

He had fallen off an 18-ft. cliff. No one seemed surprised. This was the 16th annual performance of the West Coast tribal rite-complete with fairway high jinks and off-course bottle belting-known as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur Golf Championship. Lema's leap was just the kind of accidental clowning that the crowd had come...
