...chief thug and extortionist for the late François ("Papa Doc") Duvalier, Luckner Cambronne used to be the second most feared man in Haiti. After Papa Doc's death in April last year, Cambronne appeared to be on the verge of becoming No. 1. Though Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc") Duvalier, 21, succeeded his father as President for Life, it sometimes seemed in the early stages of his rule that the cunning Cambronne was actually pulling the strings of power.

Flaunted Wealth. The son of a poor preacher, Cambronne was a bank teller before he met Papa Doc in 1957, the year that Duvalier came to power. At first Cambronne was little more than a messenger for the cruel dictator. But within two years he was one of his favorite aides.

...fiercely ambitious for him. She indignantly accosts her estranged husband (Nigel Patrick) one evening while he is conducting ("Johann, I must talk to you"), and despite his protestations ("What-in the middle of a waltz?") demands he pay more attention to Junior who blanches in the background. When Papa proves uncooperative, Mother arranges her son's debut herself. "How quickly can you get together an orchestra?" she asks Junior, who assembles 15 pieces in a trice and becomes the toast of Vienna almost as fast...

...Papa combined with a Mossavar set-up for the third goal at 37:26 and headed a rebound into the left corner for an unassisted tally and the only score of the second half. The "hat trick" producing play started on a pass from Demetrio Mena which Papagianis headed toward the goal; the ball hit the bar and bounced back to the shooter who confidently put it away...
