...action and convinced that "the only solution is bullets," he flew to Morocco last October to hatch a rebel lion against the durable Dr. Salazar. Delgado-made 18 futile attempts to sneak into Portugal, finally decided he needed a passport, a readily available item in wide-open Casablanca. The Colombian, French, Italian and U.S. passports offered to him by dealers were too expensive, but somehow he got hold of a Portuguese passport. "I found it on the street," he says with a straight face. While the plotters inside Portugal postponed the uprising from...
