Clark Mollenhoff has not had to wait. He used to be the toughest-some would say most demonic-reporter in Washington.

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...
