Their impotence was quickly made clear, however, by an East German soldier, who pointedly reloaded his submachine gun and aimed it at their faces. Scattered shouts of "murderers," "criminals" and "swine" changed to a rhythmic chant of rage and frustration. Eventually West Berlin police arrived and told the crowd to go back to bed.

...when Michael Manley, head of the opposition People's National Party, hired Reggae Singer-Composer Clancy Eccles as his campaign consultant. First Eccles converted the reggae hit Better Must Come ("Let the power fall, beat down Babylon!") into the party anthem. Next he supplied disc jockeys with rhythmic campaign slogans. Then he assembled a morality play, casting Manley as Joshua-rewriting the last line of his own reggae song Rod of Correction and substituting the name of Prime Minister Hugh Shearer in "King Pharaoh's army was drownded...
