...honorable gentleman and you expect investment to exceed ultimate dividends? In any event, the amount that leaves the", area is peanuts compared with what stays behind for payrolls, taxes, purchases of local supplies and services, etc. Let's keep the problem in its proper perspective...

Instead, a blood sample, which is much less conclusive, was taken that showed she had drunk a moderate amount. "An autopsy is best in cases like these," said District Attorney Dinis, "because it clears the air and there is no room for speculation."

The future effectiveness of the Central American Common Market, which has brought a surprising amount of industrialization to the region of the combatants in the past nine years, was imperiled, and the area's main lifeline, the Inter-American Highway, was closed down by the fighting. In the wake of death and damage, a legacy of bitterness was created that might well bedevil the two neighbors for years...
