What It Was like in Grenada

GEOFFREY WAGNER

My wife and I returned from Grenada the day before Finance Minister Bernard Coard launched his coup against Maurice Bishop. Bishop was then murdered along with many civilians, whose number is now said to exceed one hundred. Coard was later rescued from a lynch mob of irate Grenadians by U.S. Marines and, with his Jamaican wife, Phyllis, is in custody.
