Killer beyond belief. A King Kong of monsters. Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and at this very moment, as reported by Nat Hentoff, atrocity-ridden human slavery in the Sudan. But you want to be fair.

As a war correspondent, I recall crossing into the Fish Hook region on the Cambodian-Vietnamese border with an armoured recon platoon of the 25th Infantry Division. That was the Spring day when Nixon made world headlines by pulling the plug on what had been a relatively stable Cambodia. Ware is black. Here supporters and critics tend to agree. They simply disagree on what that character is.
