Returning home before sundown, he and his wife Michele often step out for dinner at the top-rated Moulin de Mougins, one of the few restaurants in the south of France where the Duvaliers do not risk having their reservation turned away by hostile locals. Then the couple usually retire behind the walls of their villa and watch television. By the former First Lady's own count, every 15th...
