Noriega has not made many miscalculations during his career. The son of poor parents, he studied medicine for a year at Panama University. When he won a scholarship for studies at a military academy in Peru, he changed paths quickly. Upon graduation in 1962, the youth signed on with the Panama National Guard as a first lieutenant.

In perhaps a more telling symptom of his decadence, the engineering student and former Communist Youth League officer read the existentialist works of Sartre and Nietzsche, wrote solipsistic essays and handed out calling cards identifying himself as the Count of Monte Cristo. Failing all his courses, he boasted that he would someday be famous. Last March, he knifed a young woman to death and then electrocuted himself...
