...fringes of Normandy, 60 miles from Paris. His shoelaces, necktie, belt and wristwatch have been taken away; his only companions are a pimp and a chicken thief, and he spends his time reading Balzac's La Comédie Humaine. The joke, of sorts, was on Rhadames Trujillo, 22, multimillionaire son of the Dominican Republic's late dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. Rhadames and three others of the high-living Trujillo clan suddenly face a court fight over the enormous fortune-estimated at something like $100 million-that they carried out of the Dominican Republic between...

He was Manuel Tavares Espaillat, 40, a cultured, U.S.-educated (Yale) scholar and the only real administrator and planner in the original triumvirate. He quit because he was disgusted...
...interested in the administrative and economic side of government, one can't avoid it. And I just wasn't cut out for politics." While in office, Tavares helped get an international economic mission in the Dominican Republic, restored the ailing sugar industry to private enterprise (under Trujillo, it was almost a personal monopoly), created an industrial-incentive program with lower taxes to encourage foreign investment, and promoted a student-credit institute to help his countrymen get an education.
