...your report of Vice President Nixon's visit to Africa and his interview with my father, Nana Osae Djan II: my father speaks English extremely well. After graduating from a Methodist school, he taught school for several years. As for the gift of the ball-point pen, I would like to make it clear to you that in Ghana, when a chief sits in state, it is considered discourteous to refuse a gift, however petty. If my father did accept this pen, in the manner in which you reported, he did so out of respect to the American Government...

At this point, Colonel Serraj no longer walked like the undisputed king of the jungle...
...Night Beat (which McCrary says is "a carbon copy of one of my old shows"). Last week the McCrarys snagged a performer who had turned Wallace down cold: Negro Singer Eartha Kitt. Eartha talked charmingly about such things as doing "primitive dances" with James Dean, and recalled her recent visit with Nehru. Said Tex: "Nehru is a widower and twice your age; he's demanding, possessive, of another race. Would you marry him?" Eartha: "That's a very silly question. Of course I would if I was inclined to be in love with...
