The doctor's recommendation was an operation at the Canal Zone's famed Gorgas Hospital. At 3 a.m. a blue ambulance crept through the lonely, moonlit streets of Managua. Only four hours after Heaton's Constellation reached Managua, it was headed toward Panama with Somoza, his wife, and the task force...
