Their path to power was made easier by the previous regime, which had virtually courted a coup by its internal bickering and corruption. Members of Parliament openly sold firearms permits in the streets. Last year a partnership was uncovered between an Indian textile merchant and President Ismail Azhari's twelve-year-old son. For weeks before it was overthrown, the ruling coalition had been in effect a caretaker government, after the powerful Umma Party had healed a split between its traditionalist and progressive wings.

Their partnership has made U.S. coal miners by far the best-paid in the world (average: $7,000 a year) and created an industry so highly mechanized that American coal is cheaper than the domestic product in most of Europe -even in Newcastle. Yet cooperation can go too far. In 1968, the union was found to be conspiring with the Consolidation Coal Co. to create a monopoly in the soft-coal industry and was ordered to pay half...
