A flashbulb's white glare froze a busy scene against the black of a tropic night on the Gulf of Panama, in the Pacific. Dame Margot's husband Roberto ("Tito") Arias-scion of one of Panama's 20-odd leading families and recently (1955-58) his nation's Ambassador to the Court of St. James's-was happily at work transferring machine guns, pistols and other trappings of rebellion from an outboard-motor boat to a shrimp boat...
