This year militants again used the Square as a "people's parliament," but to denounce Williams himself, now the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, as an "Afro-Saxon"-a black man with a white mentality. The government's arrest of 14 militants last April set the stage for a week-long mutiny by half of the island's 750-man defense force; it also led to riots in which four lives were lost...
