Those vivid pictures and your map of Middle Africa "bring homesickness" (vi koka ongeva) to one just back from Africa. Your writer, however, brushes off Christianity as "Catholicism in the Congo, Anglicanism in British East Africa, isolated settlements of other Protestant religions elsewhere. Numerically, Christian conversions are few." A conservative estimate gives at least 8,000,000 Protestants and 13,000,000 Roman Catholics in Middle Africa, and the Christian community has been doubling itself about every 15 years...

It all began when 22-year-old Princess Margaretha, granddaughter of Sweden's King Gustaf VI Adolf, went to London last fall to brush up her English. The princess did not stay with her distant relatives at Buckingham Palace, but boarded at $14 a week with the family of an old friend in Hampstead.

...born a prince (of the Royal Danish house of Schleswig-Holstein-Son-derburg-Glucksburg, which originated in Germany and now rules Greece) and, though he renounced the title officially to become a British subject, he continued to call himself Prince Philip. When Philip became engaged to Elizabeth, King George VI made the ex-Greek prince an English royal duke with the proviso that he be called, like Britain's other royal dukes (all of whom are also princes), "His Royal Highness."
