Since moderation and common sense are not the stuff that headlines are made of, the world's eyes slid past Nigeria to focus worriedly on the imperialistic elbowings of Ghana's Nkrumah, on the heedless plunge into Marxism taken by Guinea's Sékou Touré and above all, on the bloody chaos in the Congo...

While Lumumba appealed to the Russians for planes and technicians, Gizenga asked the ambassador for arms and volunteers from China. Chen cautiously offered cash and advice instead, as his Peking colleagues have done in Guinea, Ghana and Morocco. For, though the Red Chinese might be prepared to stir up real strife later, their present limited goal in Africa seems to be quiet infiltration behind the scenes, to gain allies for Peking's struggle for world recognition...
