"On June 19, of this year, a TWA plane headed East out of Chicago's Midway Airport with me among the passengers. One empty money belt, sixty-five days, 27,000 miles and 974 colored slides later, a similar ship, still headed East, set me down at the same airport. In between those times it was my pleasure to exhaust myself in the world's summer heat by visiting in nineteen countries on what I have chose to call a Safari." ----- from the Foreword.
