While other Senators debated whether or not to oust him and declare vacant the seat he had held for 19 years, New Mexico's Democratic Senator Dennis Chavez slumped in his chair like a weary gnome.

But Vincent's government stumbled in 1937, when the Dominican Republic's Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, in a moment of rage, let his forces massacre an estimated 15,000 Haitian cane-cutters who had crossed the border to seek harvest work. The Haitian President settled for an indemnity of $550,000 from Trujillo. With murdered Haitians thus officially priced at $37 each, Haiti soured on Vincent...
