Their mood, in sharp and significant contrast with the onstage pyrotechnics was, I think, a reassuring earnest of the common sense and natural warmth accorded the U.S. throughout Accra. Restless, unawed, good-humored, but occasionally stirred at mention of their country's independence, the crowd resembled nothing quite so much as a latter-day July 4 gathering...
