Emperor Bokassa certainly didn't think that he had to account for
anything. At least not where his own people were concerned. Keeping
the French happy was another story.

Did I ever tell you about the time when Bokassa ordered a search be
conducted to find his long-lost child in Vietnam? The child was the
result of a relationship he had with some Vietnamese whore during his
military service in the French Indochina during the 1950's.
