something I could get that Kofi Annan and Jimmy Carter couldn’t
I got a visa to Zimbabwe (albeit a few years ago). Being famous doesn’t get you everything, does it?

I like the Google map accompanying that news story. Somehow I doubt that Carter and Annan were trying to enter Zimbabwe from a small town in northern Michigan.
At minimum, Google needs to come up with a system that chooses, from the set of all cities in the world with a given name, the city with the largest population. Better yet, they should scan the article and look for other geographical clues that would enable them to make a more accurate guess. I’m surprised they haven’t done that already.
