It is characteristic of the southern Sudan that Sister Marilyn Norris, one of the Maryknoll nuns now working bravely as a nurse in guerrilla territory, used to have a driver who had been Idi Amin's chauffeur. He had fled across the border when Amin's horrific regime fell, and other Ugandans-relics from a later era who call themselves the Lord's Resistance Army and are said to cut off the lips of people who bad-mouth them-are fighting as bizarre irregulars in Sudan's present crossfire.
