with them for bushbuck, lived in
their huts and ate with them. The
Africans were interested in me
because I ate their food — some
times sour milk mixed with blood
(you eat meat gravy, remember)
meat and cornmeal. I saw some
rather savage rites there.
“In Tanganyika I lived for a
month with the Masai. We hunted
lion with spears but we found
none. Then I stayed for a while
with a white settler and later hiked
through some of the parks. In
Queen Elizabeth Park I hitched a
ride on an oil truck and sat up on
top the cab where I had a tremen
dous view of herds of elephants,
buffalo and all kinds of animals.
The sights were wonderful.
“The most beautiful part of
Africa? Well, I remember that it
is a huge place but the portion I
saw around Ngoro Ngoro was ex
traordinarily beautiful because of
the scenery and wild life. It was
near there that I stayed with the
Masai.
“I returned via Italy, France,
Spain, Portugal and the Azores. In
the Azores I visited my oldest
friend, an Army captain. We par
ticipated in the village bull fights
where you bait the bulls yourself.”
We mentioned Robert Ruark’s
book, Something of Value, and
wondered if the general tone were
true to what Bob LaFollette had
found in Africa? “Yes, pretty
much so. The future of Africa is
something I would not predict al
though I think the wites will be
forced out eventually, whether in
a bloody or a peaceful withdrawal
I do not know. Kenya has had
trouble and seems to be headed
for more but in Tanganyika there
is a chance for stabilized govern
ment and orderly self rule. The
Africans want self rule and they
want it right away without enough
self preparation. There is a lot of
fault on both sides, much of it the
fault of history. And no one on
either side wants to give an inch.
Let me say this: I would never
invest in any business in Africa.
“Have you read the Ugly Ameri
can? I found it to be generally
true. In Egypt I visited some mis
sionaries attached to an American
diplomatic mission that included
Army, Navy and State Department
people. As a rule the Americans
kept to themselves and didn’t pal
around with any Egyptians. There
was almost no communication with
the Egyptians except on high dip
lomatic levels. I went out and met
some of the people. The plain peo
ple were not at all quarrelsome or
aggressive and although they are
very proud of Nasser and of what
he has done for the country, they
were neither venomous nor bitter
towards the United States. To me
they were very friendly and I was
invited more than once to go to
their homes.”
Bob LaFollette returned to An
chorage late in 1959 and worked
there until he decided where he
wanted to settle down.
“I’m going to make my home in
Kodiak. There are lots of places
I want to explore around the
island. I would love to just watch
the wild life — bear, deer, elk,

seals. I don’t hunt except for food
when I’m camping out.”
His other interests are reading
and languages. He gets along
‘‘pretty well in Russian, German,
Spanish, Italian and a little
French. I’ve just about forgotten
Swahili,” As to further travels, he
says they cannot be so extended
or so frequent but that there are
many places he still expects to see.
He would like to go back to Japan
where he has friends, and there
are mountains he wants to climb
in Afghanistan.
‘‘It’s wonderful when one is
young and fit, to be able to see
other peoples, places and climates;
it sort of gives a fresh perspective
on one’s own country. Now tomor
row, if I should get hit by a truck
and killed, I wouldn’t feel life had
cheated me.”
We thanked Bob LaFollette for
the interview and started home
ward, just a bit breathless.
