Harding moved into the White House. Last week, on the 60th anniversary of the old Lion's rule-the longest of any living monarch-he was feted by countrymen and visiting dignitaries. Heralded as much for his libido as his longevity, Sobhuza is said to have more than 100 wives and is well on his way to earning another moniker: "Father of His Country...
