Baby Doc Duvalier Splits Atoms...With His Mind

I mentioned earlier that Baby Doc returned to Haiti and was promptly arrested and prevented from leaving the country. Now we have some indication as to what prompted him to show his face:
Duvalier, 59, made the trip just before a Swiss law that could entitle him to at least $4.6 million takes effect on Feb. 1. To collect the funds, he would have to show Haitian authorities aren't interested in prosecuting him.
So he tried to collect money by proving that Haiti wasn't going to prosecute him, which he did by showing up in Haiti, where they are now prosecuting him.
