Participants in the four previous uprisings against her have generally been let off lightly, but U.S. officials are counseling firmness this time. "Heads have to roll," says a Pentagon official. Already the President may be wavering. The government even seemed to be backing off from its earlier order to shoot Honasan on sight.

To protect the transplants until they take hold, conservationists have jury-rigged a protective barrier of old Air Force parachutes in the water to absorb and attenuate the force of the waves.
