...boatlift on the U.S. is hollow. The U.S. Coast Guard may not be so convinced: Guard vessels sighted three more boats leaving Cuba today after picking up 230 frightened Cuban refugees over the weekend. The recent exodus was spurred by unrest in Havana Friday. TIME Miami bureau chief Cathy Booth says Castro, frustrated by tension during one of the Cuban economy's worst months, may let the malcontents go. In Miami, she adds, Cuban exiles went on the radio to urge their island brethren to stay put. "They don't want another Mariel," Booth says of the 1980 incident...

...second time in seven months, TIME's Edward Barnes, Cathy Booth and Bernard Diederich are in Haiti waiting for the Americans to arrive. Last October the U.S.S. Harlan County, trying to land with a U.N.-sponsored team of military and police advisers, turned back after anti-U.S. mobs demonstrated at the port. This time Barnes, betting things will be different, has rented a room in a "strategically located" brothel with a roof that should command a good view of the first attack.

TIME's team has traveled hundreds of miles within Haiti and talked with dozens of Haitians over the past five weeks. Barnes slogged by foot and dugout canoe in the south, tracking down rumors of whole villages that had perished as desperate people tried to flee by sea. Booth set off for the ruggedly beautiful north coast, looking for Haitians who had reportedly organized a resistance movement in support of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. "The divisions are as profound in the countryside as in Port-au-Prince," says Booth. "It's hard to see how the pro-military...
...horror movie." Diederich had just been expelled from Haiti when "Papa Doc" Duvalier thwarted President Kennedy's attempt to remove him from power in 1963. "The lesson of Papa Doc's defying the U.S. has not been lost on those who hold power in Haiti today," adds Diederich. Barnes, Booth and Diederich have all reread Graham Greene's 1966 novel The Comedians and, says Barnes, "are amazed at how little things have changed." Duvalier's feared secret police, the Tontons Macoutes, may be called attaches now, but Haiti itself remains Greene's "evil slum floating a few miles from Florida...
