...questions become more acute the farther south in Africa the visitor travels. In Kenya, barely five years after the Mau Mau terrors, whites now dine with blacks in some of Nairobi's more fashionable hotels and restaurants. In Southern Rhodesia the whites are called "masters"; a government official summons a black clerk and says, "Solomon, show this master where Room 207 is." In Johannesburg there are two separate bus systems, one for the whites and one for the nie blankes. But a black carrying a heavy sack of parcels at the behest of a white mailman automatically becomes white...
...whites are working for some kind of multiracial solution. In the lakeside town of Bukavu in the Belgian Congo, angry colons recently pelted a Belgian colonial minister with tomatoes because they thought him too liberal. At the same time, a prosperous white merchant in Elisabethville was explaining to a visitor: "We do not want apartheid [segregation]. We wish to share power with the African.

Almost unrecognizable in kaffiyeh and dark glasses, the Aga Khan, 22, customarily a Western-attired fashion plate, sped to the airport in Nice, met a beautiful English visitor, Tracy Pelissier, 19, stepdaughter of famed British Moviemaker Sir Carol (Our Man in Havana) Reed.

...their priests, the pilgrims arrive by special train or bus (twelve to 19 trains, 2,000 buses daily), stay usually only a day, are moved through the cathedral with military precision. For the Deutsche mark (24?) entrance fee, each visitor gets a devotional book, a metal lapel badge, and a tiny card that has been touched to the tunic (the garment itself is kept under glass, and most pilgrims get no closer to it than about ten feet). Priests acting as guides keep lines moving by walkie-talkies. Whatever the tunic's real origin, says Trier's Bishop...
...Nelson, U.S. art at the Moscow exhibition is drawing upward of 20,000 people a day. Guards have a hard time keeping the crowd moving, not because people are impressed by the show so much as because puzzlement halts them. Jackson Pollock's drip picture called Cathedral stops visitors cold. "Where is the cathedral?" they ask. Andrew Wyeth's Children's Doctor and Edward Hooper's stark, vivid Lighthouse at Two Lights are the standout favorites. Among the sculptures on display, Gaston Lachaise's hugely curvaceous Standing Woman is a cynosure. Commented one visitor...
