They were reluctant to go along with demands by the anti-Trujillo opposition that the late dictator's heirs, led by his own son, Rafael Leonidas ("Ramfis") Trujillo Jr., be forced to give up the reins of government and clear out of the country. Last October U.S. planners thought that they had worked out a way to have democracy and Trujillos as well. Last week...

Behrendt's special skill lies in his capacity to unravel the most labyrinthine international maze, and to explain the most convoluted international personality, with a few deft lines. His Castro is a bellower whose gaping mouth reveals a hammer-and-sickle tongue. Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser is a perspiring sphinx; West Germany's tough old Chancellor Adenauer, an uncrackable walnut. As depicted by Behrendt, France's De Gaulle wears spectacles that reflect the Gaullist cosmos: a double image of Charles de Gaulle himself...
