...fair to Haiti. "Greene's fictional Haiti," you say, "seems not very far removed from the real one . . . a Black Power station," etc. Well, this just isn't so. Greene found what he came looking for-Papa Doc, the Tontons Macoute, Black Power, a sick society. The visitor without this preconception will see little or nothing of Haiti's cloak-and-dagger world. He will be overwhelmed instead by the Haitian people who have spurned those who strutted in the capital and stole their taxes, from Dessaline's time to the present. The Haitians continue through...
...suffering increasingly from lack of food, recruiting difficulties, and the steady movement of the people from V.C.-held areas to the security of government-controlled territory. Ironically, in a war in which the enemy has always banked heavily on outlasting the more impatient Occidentals, many Viet Cong troops are sick and tired of the fighting...
...Sergeant James E. Jackson Jr. of Talcott, W. Va. and Sergeant Edward R. Johnson of Seaside, Calif.

Butcher's financial talent dovetails with Seabrook's knack for curing sick companies. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate ('39) of Princeton, Seabrook first rescued his own family company, Seabrook Farms, from a disastrous slump. In 1959, when his father, now dead, sold control of the frozen-food firm, Seabrook quit as president and joined Butcher. He became president of I.U. in 1965, and of General Waterworks last year.
