...warning to the republic's neighbors that they should not interfere with Djibouti before independence, France beefed up the garrison with 1,000 extra paratroopers and legionnaires. The carrier Foch came steaming into the harbor, a symbol of both celebration and precaution. For a time after independence, the French will continue to guard the republic's frontiers against aggression (the Somalian border is only ten miles from downtown Djibouti, Ethiopia a mere 50 miles away).

Garrison can also determine if a convict has a partner traveling with him by noting that a twig has been bent back or broken shoulder-high. "There's almost an instinct...
