THE GREEN BERET By TOM PURDOM It's not so much the decisions a man does make that mark him as a Man—but the ones he refrains from making. Like the decision "I've had enough!" Illustrated by Schoenherr Read locked the door and drew his pistol. Sergeant Rashid handed Premier Umluana the warrant. "We're from the UN Inspector Corps," Sergeant Rashid said. If Umluana noticed Read's gun, he didn't show it. "I don't know your language," Rashid said. Umluana was a small man with wrinkled brow, glasses and a mustache. "The Inspector General doesn't have the power to arrest a head of state—especially the Premier of Belderkan. Read knew two armed men stood just outside the door. "If you leave, Premier, I'll have to shoot you." "No, if you kill me, all Africa will rise against the world. "Corporal Read is very young," Rashid said, "but he's a crack shot. That's why I brought him with me. Umluana turned back to Rashid a second too soon. He saw the sergeant's upraised hand before it collided with his neck. Kidnap. " Rashid judo chopped him and swung the inert body over his shoulders. Read pulled a flat grenade from his vest pocket. He dropped it and yellow psycho gas hissed from the valve. "Let's be off," Rashid said. The door lock snapped as they went out the window. Two men with rifles plunged into the gas; sighing, they fell to the floor in a catatonic trance.

The driver and another inspector occupied the front seat. The other inspector carried a light machine gun and a box of grenades.
