Because the entire family knew about this backstairs relationship, the suspenseful buildup of innuendoes about Serge's unnatural affection for Nicole is a theatrical trick of the worst kind, a bombshell that has no effect on the characters.

They might not have envisioned Bishop being killed-Castro might not have a wanted that-but there was certainly an arms buildup. The fact that there were clearly hundreds of tough Cuban combat troops makes a clear threat to the small democratic states in the Caribbean. There's also a very strategic interest to us. Each individually would be reason enough to warrant what the Reagan Administration did Together they certainly...
