...Harvard's personnel office, which bargains for "management," now has a staff of professionally trained negotiators. Union members come back from bargaining sessions crestfallen after having faced Harvard's representatives. They even tell of one management aide whose function it is to go plowing through a contract defining the exact meaning of each word, in every case to the benefit of the University. So some BGMA officers started looking around for another union that could provide the membership with better negotiators...

Barred from the film's proper location of Haiti because of the novel's distinct unfriendliness toward Haitian Dictator Francois Duvalier, Comedians' Producer-Director Peter Glenville and his company found a surprisingly exact replica in Dahomey. Cotonou is a jerry-built outcropping of grandiose, half-filled government buildings and a splendid four-lane boulevard that runs straight and proud to the weeds and sand at the city's edge. The one major difference is that Dahomey's strongman, President Christophe Soglo, held...
