Not that the doctors had any complaints (routine audits by a big Atlanta firm showed nothing amiss), but they needed a manager with more experience. When the new manager, John C. Walsh, arrived in Atlanta from New Orleans, Margaret graciously hosted a welcoming party. But on his third day at work Accountant Walsh happened to check through the bank deposits.

By a ruse, a band of partisans whose own doctor is severely wounded succeeds in kidnaping her. After the partisans' doctor dies in her care, they offer her a grim choice: help us or follow him. The decision tears Helga in two, not because she fears execution, but because she must measure her narrow patriotism against her involvement...
...Kenneth C. Towe, 64, who moves up to the newly created position of board chairman.
