...doubt about it, Congolese Rebel Leader Christophe Gbenye is steadily gaining friends in the rest of Africa. While his henchmen huddled in Cairo with Algerian and Egyptian officials discussing more aid for the rebellion, Gbenye himself turned up in Uganda with the rulers of three East African republics in tow. Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta, Uganda's Apollo Milton Obote and Tanzania's Julius Nyerere seemed genuinely thrilled to help the Congolese "hero," and Western diplomats sensed a rising tide of anti-Americanism growing from the meeting...

He disguised a score of Marseille cops as everything from priests and petanque players to taxi drivers and dockers, often had them make quick changes at midday while they shadowed Cesari and his henchmen. Several times they discovered raw morphine on incoming freighters ticketed to Cesari's hirelings (one shipment was packed in a carton of snails). But the police were unable to catch Cesari manufacturing heroin-until a laborer named Albert Veran laid out $15,000 for an old stone farmhouse last...
