When it was over, Alexander smiled coldly, said, "Mr. Premier, an imperialist bids you good night," and stalked from Lumumba's presence. The Premier did somewhat better when he ordered Alexander to clear all Belgian troops from Leopoldville by 6 o'clock. The general pointed out that it was already 6:10. "That," said Lumumba grandly, "is your problem, general, and I leave it to you to solve in your...
