...announcement came over a department-store loudspeaker that a nearby bank had been robbed. Deciding that it was unsafe to walk around with so much cash, Sabine walked over to a second downtown bank, People's Heritage. There, he began filling out forms to open a checking account. An alert teller, who had heard about the heist two blocks away, took one look at Sabine and, despite his new coat, called the police. Said a bank official, he "was not our usual kind of customer." Just 59 minutes after he walked out of Maine National, Sabine was arrested for bank...

Under that status, which was extended indefinitely, all military leaves and furloughs were canceled. Marcos' reason: Aquino, he claimed, had said that his re-election would spark a civil...
Quickly, a picture of bumbling emerged. It turned out that late last week the U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince sent an "alert" to the State Department, reporting rumors that Duvalier had fled the country. Haiti is perennially a hotbed of gossip, and inaccurate reports had already generated a premature celebration on Thursday night in Miami, where one person was killed. The message thus could hardly be taken as sounding the final, definitive toll for the Duvalier dynasty, but the State Department relayed the "alert" nonetheless to the White House Situation Room for the National Security Council. According to State...
