...Furious on Hemp. Imprisoned for five weeks in the local hotel, the hostages included 21 Catholic priests and brothers, 17 nuns, and a British accountant who was considered an American spy because he owned a pair of binoculars. On the night of Nov. 16, more than a week before the joint U.S.-Belgian rescue mission began, the Simbas puffed themselves into a fury on bamboo pipeloads of Indian hemp.

Suslov listened quietly until Nikita ran down, then rose to his feet. "You see, Comrades," he said slowly. "It is impossible to talk to him." Khrushchev's face reddened to the point that some witnesses thought he would hit Suslov. But he contained himself while the Presidium voted...
