...doubt his most outrageous argument is to deal him a mortal affront. But doubters there are. For Walter is a complicated soul. When there are two ways to do a thing, he chooses the oblique. Part leprechaun and part literal-minded lawyer, he disconcerts friends with a Groucho Marxist air of insincerity. Yet he walks among foes with the grave and wary eyes of an honest man lost among a legion of pickpockets...

A shouting, sarong-clad union boss who learned his leftism in the U.S.-at the University of Wisconsin and in Manhattan's Union Square-Gunawardena built his power month after month. By tying up island transport in incessant union warfare against rival Marxists, Gunawardena drove Banda to nationalize all buses Jan. 1. Later in the month, after even rougher bullyboy tactics by Gunawardena...
