The reason: Zaïre's touchy President Mobutu Sese Seko, who recently expelled U.S. Ambassador Deane Hinton on charges that he was plotting to overthrow the government, had complained heatedly about Carter's having been in direct contact with the rebels. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger reviewed the record and according to an associate, flew into a "towering rage...
