If the ongoing peace talks in Angola fail to end the fighting there, one can expect Unita, the so-called anticommunist resistance led by rebel Jonas Savimbi, to have a hallowed place in the U.S. administration. In recent years Unita's Washington representative has been the conservative power-lobby firm that has provided the Bush campaign with some of its top brass. According to papers the firm filed with the Justice Department received $299,000 in consulting fees from Unita every six months in 1987, placing the rebels among its top-paying clients.
