The first part is the result of a
visit to New York during which Mr
Mikes, heavily disguised as Our
Man at the United Nations, did some

about the U.N. Delegates' Lounge,
so grave and like the hub of the
world all week, but on Friday
evenings astonishingly aflutter
with pretty ladies; about the diplo-

tourists with their compulsive urge
to see the desk on which Mr
Khrushchev thumped with his

this account of them one can't
help thinking that they did it just
so that George Mikes could write
about them.
In the second part of the book
he ranges far and wide, sometimes
telling stories, sometimes describ-
ing, sometimes passing judgement,
and always being very funny. He is
accompanied throughout by David
Langdon, and the partnership is a
brilliant one. Vissza
