Ever since the Sandinistas overthrew the late dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle in July 1979, the revolutionary government has zealously embraced Marxism. The Reagan Administration has long charged that the Sandinistas, backed by Cuba and the Soviet Union, give substantial aid to the broadening guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador, where the U.S. is the principal backer of the civilian-military government of President José Napoleón Duarte. The U.S. is also a firm supporter of Honduras. Furthermore, the Administration fears that the Nicaraguan military buildup will start a regional arms race, something that no country in the area...
...Crimson widened the margin to four when White scored her second of the afternoon, again off passes from Carroll and Taft, at the 6:40 mark. As Skidmore staggered toward the final buzzer, coach Dooley gave his fourth line of Kristy Anastasio, Dinny Starr and Katrinka Leschey extra ice-time. The trio finished off the scoring as Starr tallied her first goal with the varsity at 8:18, with assists by NOTEBOOK: For the second time this season the Crimson's goal-total was higher than the oppositions's shot-total....Bad news on the injury front: as the result...
...Reagan Administration's tough stand comes at a time when the exuberant optimism that followed the July 1979 overthrow of the government of Anastasio Somoza Debayle has all but evaporated.

Politically, the Sandinista leadership is betraying itself as insecure, arbitrary and determined to hold on to power, come what may. Says one Western diplomatic analyst in Managua: "They've made up their minds they...
...Uprising recreates the final bloody months of the 1979 revolution, and Sandino, a documentary, looks at the year that follows the victory. Despite crude acting and a liberal dash of sentiment, Lilienthal succeeds brilliantly in showing how this revolution--and more important how the brutal piggishness of American ally Anastasio Somoza--touched the life of the people. Little wonder that Nicaraguans who watched their neighbors, their sons, shot in the back for no good reason, who ran off the streets to avoid the ubiquitous National Guard convoys, who saw their priests murdered and their churches desecrated, little wonder that they...
South Florida are poor. Inspired by the Nicaraguans who fled their country after the downfall of President Anastasio Somoza in 1979, wealthy families from El Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela and Argentina are nervously preparing a South Florida refuge in case their own governments totter. They are pouring their fortunes into Miami banks; it is estimated that as much as $4 billion in Latin exile money is socked away in Miami...
