...simple tactic of outwaiting his enemies until they realized that public opinion was on his side. Holed up in the rugged Kabylia region, where they had promised to fight to "the last drop of blood." his two chief opponents, shrewd, sick (he has only one lung) Mohammed Boudiaf and clever, tough Belkacem Krim, finally saw the futility of their fight, agreed to negotiations with Ben Bella's top aide. Mohammed Khider. Boudiaf and Krim capitulated without even a face-saving compromise. They accepted intact Ben Bella's seven-man politburo, which included Boudiaf but excluded Krim.

It was Boumedienne, a pale, brown-haired former schoolteacher and pronounced left-winger, who last week angrily turned down the Orleansville proposal while Ben Bella was still studying it.
