But Koudsi, who keeps a prepared resignation in his desk just in case the soldiers should some day win, chose not to push his luck. Escorted aboard an airliner and given $1,000 apiece to cover their expenses, the rebels were sent back to diplomatic posts-in civvies...

With a grin that slits his throat from ear to ear he runs off to tell all his horseplaying pals about the bookie who brought him luck. They get all the cash they can carry and stack the packet on a three-legged lizard whose owner can't even sell it for dog meat. "Eighty to one!" Lana gasps with relief. "Ha! Ha! Ha!
