Here is George meeting The Mere Leader -

“George welcomed him with his usual grace,
Soothing words and smiling face,
But response there was none, no reaction at all,
No high-flown speech, no honeyed words,
But merely a touch of the outstretched hand
As if George were some lackey of the land
Come to pay homage to his lord.”

And seeing Vincent Giganti for the first time -

"There weren’t many people in the bar,
But standing at the counter, not very far
From Kennedy’s table there was a man,
A cigar in his mouth, whisky in his hand,
Of powerful build and broad of shoulder,
Black hair slicked back and saturnine features,
Expensively dressed from head to toe,
That all who met him might very well know
That here was a man of power and influence,
His manner radiating a certain arrogance."

and this is how Didi Damin meets Sobama -

“This frenzied feasting coming at last to an end,
Damin wiped his face and toothpick in hand,
Looked around the room and stared at one person,
A man of about forty, tall dark and handsome,
Summoned a waiter and told him very curtly,
“Tell that man over there to come here immediately”,
Causing the waiter to scurry across the floor,
Then whisper something in the dark man’s ear,
Which made him smile and nod in assent,
And walk over to be in the dictator’s presence.
The waiter introduced him with not a little drama,
“Allow me to present Senator Borrock Sobama!””

Dr. Lee visits the Club -

"In the club Dr. Lee was impressed to see
Powerful leaders sitting talking amicably,
While at home their peoples were locked in disputes,
And determined to fight, to kill and to loot,
And to main and to rape without a second thought,
As their leaders exchanged pleasantries in the heart of New York.
“Well, George, it’s an interesting place to be sure,
I wish I’d been able to come here before." "

The candidate for president -                                                

"Outside on the street was a curious sight,
A double-decker bus, open to the sky,
And festooned with banners,
Placards and the like,
Promoting a presidential candidate.
And standing on the top the man himself,
Waving to a appreciative audience,
The would-be president and national leader,
The young and personable Senator Sobama"
