STORY BY BILL DURYEA

PHOTOGRAPHS BY KATHLEEN FLYNN OF THE TIMES

A devoutly Christian missionary named Carol Herget struck a bargain with the devil in Haiti _ former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. She would give him her allegiance if he would give her license to save thousands of Haitian children from malnutrition. The child at right, Marie-Olga Kenslie Georges, is alive and well today probably because of the deal Herget struck.
