That brought angry denials from El Salvador's President Jose Napoleon Duarte and Military Commander General Adolfo Blandon. They were embarrassed by the public linkage of Ilopango, where U.S. military advisers are stationed, to the contra flights. Indeed, the spotlight on Ilopango's role as a base for supplying the contras, long an open secret in Central America, brought new problems for Duarte as he struggled with the impact of the Oct. 10 earthquake in the capital of San Salvador that left more than 600 dead and thousands homeless. Duarte last week received a promise of $50 million...
...landslide, the party kept its legislative majority. "These results confirm that we have been following the right track," said Gonzalez.

He made a tough speech to Jewish leaders gathered at the White House, and scheduled a television address for this coming Sunday. The issue was publicly cast by the President, and more strongly by his top advisers, in us-or-them terms, with a blunt accusation that those...
...mean way," he says. The one skit he rejected: portraying a gay hairstylist. There was, however, much skirting of the bounds of propriety, including a catty reference to Reagan's first wife, Jane Wyman, and a portrayal of Nancy as a chain-smoking lush by an actor in Adolfo-like drag.
