...Benson was an illiterate private when his sergeant told him that he would never make a good soldier and should get out of the Army Air Corps. Benson took him at his word and headed for the rugged Kiamichi Mountains of his native Oklahoma. That was in 1943, and he has survived ever since on wild game, berries and occasional handouts from relatives who knew where he was hiding...
...players as equipment, and it squirms with pain from beginning to end. For caricatures, the supporting characters are remarkable--they put a lot into their limited parts. G.D.

...April killings climaxed a year of unrest and protest over the big-spending ways of the self-crowned Emperor, a for mer French army sergeant who seized power in a 1965 coup. Although his landlocked, Texas-size country is one of the world's poorest, Bokassa reportedly has been dipping heavily into the public treasury to pay for his six homes in France (including a chateau in the Loire Valley), his three wives, his royal court, and tuition for many of his 35 children at Swiss boarding schools...
