The day after he was barred, Powell sat in the End of the World and appreciatively ogled Tanyiki Delamour, 24, a Haitian exotic dancer whose specialty is the "voodoo drumfire dance." "Don't get too close; you'll set me on fire," Powell warned. His usual constant companion, Corinne Huff, was nowhere in sight...
...just-finished scene) seemed a little farther out than usual-well, Dahomey itself may be farther out than the location of any movie since Nanook of the North. Financial Frankness.

Even at that, there is strong doubt that he would ever surrender office voluntarily. He is bound up almost mystically with his job, and now seems to believe the neon slogan ("I am the Haitian flag, one and indivisible") that glares above a Port-au-Prince city park. What seems more likely is that some time, suddenly, in a peculiarly Haitian way with little warning, Duvalier will be gone. Who would come after...
