When Walt was five months old, his father was deported to Surinam for violating immigration laws. The child spent the rest of his short life looking for a father surrogate. His search was limited to the area around Harlem's West 116th Street, where-like many children who grow up there-he learned about hustling, dope and sex before he was ten. Often he subsisted on potato chips, baloney and sodas...

Even the recent discovery of a primitive jungle tribe in Surinam fell within the category of passing phenomena.

Even Awhile the OAS was meeting in Washington, new evidence was building up against Castro. Last month officials in Surinam, The Netherlands' self-governing colony on South America's northeast coast, reported that Castro gunrunners in high-speed launches are smuggling large amounts of arms down the Courantyne River for delivery to Communist terrorists in neighboring British Guiana. The Dutch army has already sent 1,000 soldiers, plus two helicopters, to reinforce the border-river patrols, and a navy frigate has just steamed in with more much-needed help...
