Focus of the fighting was no longer Africa. Instead the new goal is to convert Jamaica itself into a Ras Tafarian-run island republic. The leaders include Henry's son Reynold and ten U.S. Negroes from Brooklyn, some of them ex-G.I.s. Police deported some of the boys from Brooklyn when they turned up for Henry's back-to-Africa rallies last October. They got in again three weeks ago under assumed names, went underground in the remote Red Hills region seven miles northwest of Kingston, and began breaking out smuggled weapons...

This news finally reached the drug world recently through an ex-G.I. with a yen for tranquilizers. He rushed into the Upjohn Co.'s headquarters in Kalamazoo to extol the Seminole tea virtues, especially its lack of side effects. The man who brewed it for him, he reported, was none other than Josie Billie, or Kachanagofte (Big Tiger), onetime chief Seminole medicine man for 25 years and the only person alive who knows the formula...
