Despite this, there are plenty of leaders who, though fond of Barry, do not like the situation. They are distressed by the enthusiasm shown for him by such extreme right-wing groups as the John Birch Society. But there are some indications that that very enthusiasm is bringing many of the extremists into the regular Republican Party-and in so doing they make the party no more conservative, but rather become more moderate themselves...
...Duvalier's tenacity has destroyed the tourist trade. Long before the expiration of his six-year term, the President made it clear he was fond of the palace and had little intention of leaving. Early in 1963 he cancelled the scheduled May election and set about fortifying his position. To make up for the half-hearted and unreliable army, the country doctor had developed a private hatchet force called the tonton macoute.

Communist soldiers ingratiatingly offered cigarettes and candy to South Korean visitors, but when they tried to talk propaganda, American MPs moved them along. Overhead, flocks of doves, of which Koreans are particularly fond, darted about-but even they were involved in the nasty little frontier cold war. The Communists, before releasing them from the dovecot, had carefully trained the birds to perch only on their own green-painted roofs, not on the blue U.N. buildings...
