Despite the construction noise, the same hospitality is evident at Habitation Leclerc, a new $1.5 million resort complex being built on a Port-au-Prince hillside by Olivier Coquelin, owner of Manhattan's Hippopotamus discotheque.

Because there is no official residence for the nation's No. 2 executive, Hubert is encountering many of the problems that plagued his predecessors, some of whom also lived very simply. Calvin Coolidge and Cactus Jack Garner, for example, lived in hotels, and Harry Truman occupied a $150-a-month apartment.
