Rather like the boat people of Viet Nam, the Haitians risked their lives to flee starvation and poverty in "Baby Doc" Duvalier's dictatorial regime, making the 700-mile journey in rickety, overcrowded vessels. Many drowned when their boats broke up at sea, and their bodies sometimes washed up on the plush resort beaches of South Florida.

The latter verdict was "guilty," but members of that jury have since said they had never understood the formal charges and only punished the three doctors for doing something which seemed wrong. "RAPE DOC BACK ON THE STAND"--the daytime television scriptwriters only dream about plots like this...
