...swift plane to soft exile or by swifter bullet, most of the hemisphere's oldtime rightist dictators in fancy uniforms have given way to democracy or to the new kind of nominally democratic strongmen who rule heavily while spieling the jargon of social reform. On the entire South American continent, only one old-school tyrant remains: a trimly mustached, part-German artillery general named Alfredo Stroessner, boss of backward Paraguay.

Working in bands of 20 to 30, the rebels paint their faces red to make themselves "invisible," smoke marijuana for "bullet proofing," wear their trousers inside out as a means of identification on hit-and-run raids. Intent on terrorizing whites indiscriminately, they are not content just to kill; they also mutilate, plucking out eyes, severing hands. Altogether, the rebels are estimated to have killed some 600 Angolan whites. Last week the Portuguese, who all along have claimed that the revolt was not spontaneous but instigated from the outside, reported...
