On October 11, 1968, the Panama National Guard overthrew the elected government. Patrols searched for the president and his ministers but were thwarted when Merry, avoiding these heavily armed troops, drove them to safety in the Canal Zone.
In 1987, he was named division vice president of a major US financial news operation covering the Caribbean and Latin America and traveled extensively throughout the region, reporting financial and political events. In 1995, he was writing two nationally televised financial programs weekly and editing a popular monthly financial report. These days, he works as an international relations consultant for a Florida telephone company.
He has published three previous books. Mr. Merry and his wife live in Miami Shores, Florida.показать меньше
