Aristide has fired the notorious chefs de section, the rural military strongmen who ruled vast areas of rural Haiti like medieval fiefdoms, terrorizing villagers with their raw power.

If the American review panel feels the U.S. is regularly getting a raw deal, it could formally recommend withdrawal from the treaty. The efforts of Dole and some Republican strategists to link approval of GATT to a cut in the capital-gains tax -- a perennial on the G.O.P.'s wish list -- came to naught.
