Tanks Guard Haiti's Duvalier Amid Ill Health Rumors
Tanks ring the Port au Prince palace as Francois Papa Doc Duvalier, ruling Haiti for life, faces speculation over illness. A Dominican source said he was extremely ill and not expected to live, with his son in law Max Dominique returning to assume leadership. Foreign diplomats reported normal travel considerations, while a three man junta reportedly awaited death. Duvalier has long ruled with an iron hand since 1957 and has denied illness publicly, leaving observers to weigh fact against conjecture.
