...even of window frames after he fled the country. In the capital, the presidential palace is also in bad shape, but no restoration work can be scheduled until the de facto president, Emile Jonassaint, is pushed out -- possibly this week. Haitians say he is booby-trapping the palace with voodoo charms to thwart Aristide...
Emmanuel "Toto" Constant was known to American reporters in Haiti as an elegant dresser, a man who spoke perfect English and claimed to hold degrees in physics and mathematics from Canadian universities -- while still believing fervently in voodoo -- and, so he said, a onetime diplomat with the Haitian mission to the United Nations.

The voodoo of appeasement. Erstwhile murderer-torturer-rapists deserving nothing less than violent eviction (even if the invasion violates U.S. popular and congressional opinion and virtually every lesson learned in Vietnam) became, in the sunshine of Carter's smile and hunger for a Nobel Prize, honorable men. General Cedras has a "slim...
