To help pave the way, "The Voice of Haitian International Union," an exile group, buys time on a New York short-wave radio station to beam a half-hour news and conversation program into Haiti six days a week, poking fun at Duvalier. Castro is also taking to the air waves. "Duvalier has signed his own death warrant," Havana...

...sent them to previews of Subways. A week after the show opened, Merrick stuck tongue firmly in cheek and printed their names, their pictures and their reviews of the show (all raves) in a great big blat of a full-page ad. And in the course of a long guerrilla war against Howard Taubman of the Times, he pointedly reprinted one of Taubman's reviews in Greek and suggested sympathetically that the poor chap required "vocational guidance...
