...reporter in order to get his side across. This particularly bedevils a Times man, since he is usually the most influential man on the spot. Tshombe grants an interview. Halberstam writes a favorable piece about Tshombe; the State Department thinks it is owed a favorable piece about Adoula. Everyone is conscious of the newspaper's power: even the Buddhist priests learned to call in newsmen to ward off arrests...
Former Premier Cyrille Adoula, his own Radeco Party badly split and losing influence, refuses to leave his self-imposed exile in Rome to contest the elections.
