Clark Mollenhoff has not had to wait. He used to be the toughest-some would say most demonic-reporter in Washington. Mollenhoff helped unearth the scandals involving Jimmy Hoffa, Bobby Baker and many lesser operators. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1958 for his "persistent inquiry into labor racketeering."

But blockhouses and rusting gun barrels still pock the landscape, and laborers regularly unearth skeletons that have been buried beneath the sand for a quarter-century. It all came back, Sherrod reported-"the sweetly sickening smell of death given off by thousands of bodies rapidly rotting in the tropical sun, the sight of an island stripped of every one of its many thousands of coconut...
