Burns of Hawaii representing President Johnson, were among 3,000 guests who knelt on mats in the malae (palace park), ate (with fingers) such South Sea exotica as lupuhi -chicken and duck broiled in coconut sauce-and joined Tongans in consuming vats of a mildly narcotic, tongue-numbing drink made from pepper roots...
