Border Alert. There was no assurance that the brother-and-sister team could withstand the rivalries and intrigues that beset Haitian politics. Haiti has seldom escaped violence during leadership changes. Many experts anticipate a period of intense but quiet rivalry between army and secret-police factions, which may later explode into open fighting...

Others before Thompson have pointed out the horrors of technocracy, but seldom with such a combination of pique and precision. (Example: "M.I.T. needs a large psychiatric clinic because the effect of technological training is to do to the psyche what industry does to the environment.") Thompson's perceptions may be partly explained by the fact that he once taught humanities at M.I.T...
