Jake rumbled, "There's going to be a bloodbath there before it's over."
Isobel said thoughtfully, "There's been some hope that fundamental changes might take place in Lisbon."
Jake grunted his skepticism. "In that case the bloodbath would take place there instead of in Africa." He added, "Which is all right with me."
"What else?" Isobel said.
"Continued complications in the Congo."
"That's hardly news."
"But things are going like clockwork in the west. Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika." Cliff took his right hand away from the controls long enough to make a circle with its thumb and index finger. "Like clockwork. Fifty new fellows from the University of Chicago came in last week to help with the rural education development and twenty or so men from Johns Hopkins in Baltimore have wrangled a special grant for a new medical school."
"All ... Negroes?"
"What else?"
Jake said suddenly, "Tell her about the Cubans."
