...iron fist of Brigadier General Antonio Kebreau, Haiti's new boss, fell on the black republic last week, bringing temporary calm. After a weekend of arson and terror, the sullen followers of exiled provisional President Daniel Fignole went back to work. Kebreau jammed the jails with political prisoners...
...Greco is a gust from a dark grotto. In Manhattan last week, with her weedy dark hair hanging to her waist, she chanted in French the bittersweet songs that have made her famous at home. Her large, square hands shaped the phrases; her high-cheekbonsd, chalky face was alternately sullen and sad.

Though Marosan appeared to have more spirit than Kadar, his appeals to sullen Hungarian audiences to help save the economy had an unrealistic sound. More in the spirit of those audiences, though no longer perhaps within their capacity, were the posters, plastered on Budapest walls last week, exhorting Hungarians not to forget their dead Freedom Fighters, and warning them to stand...
