[edit] How did Olympio die?

Time magazine wrote an article in January 1963 that gives a somewhat detailed account of the assassination. It can be found at:

I'm not quite skilled enough in Wikipedia to incorporate this into the Olympio article yet. If anyone is, feel free to go at it. Also, the papers of ambassador Leon Poullada at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library may contain additional details on the assassination. See...
