Throughout the day and night mobs rampaged through the native quarters of Marrakech committing further horrors. "Don't mix in this," a huge, bare-to-the-waist Moor told one French cop.

But Beal's own remarkable performance told most of the story: his tautened body and hanging jaw gave an eerie impression of the tempests raging inside his rib cage, and his wildly questing...
