Governor Toney Anaya of New Mexico is expected to sign a bill within two weeks requiring his state's drivers to buckle up or face a minimum fine of $15. New Mexico will thus join New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri in mandating the use of seat belts, and at least 30 other states are considering a similar move. The rush toward seat-belt legislation stems from a regulation issued last year by U.S. Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole. She decreed that by 1990 all new cars must be equipped with so-called passive restraints, either protective air bags...
Ironically, another drawback may have been the strong ideological and party link Pratt shares with Gov. Toney Anaya, one of the nation's most liberal. Since he took over in 1982, Anaya has had to defend himself against a host of criticisms from the public and state legislators--ranging from his taking too active a role in national Hispanic politics at the expense of getting things done at home, to his refusal to enforce the death penalty. Some observers believe the governor is proving an albatross around Pratt's neck...
...this is very odd, though, given that it is only two years since the governor took office after campaigning vigorously on a liberal platform, letting the public know that he would play the fitting role as the nation's only Hispanic governor if elected. It was Anaya too who came close to upsetting Domenici himself in 1978. The Pratt campaign, moreover, claims their issues polls of New Mexico voters show them more closely aligned to Anaya and Pratt...
Less than three months after that parley, Anaya Montes was brutally stabbed to death in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua. Her Sandinista hosts at first blamed her death on a "CIA plot." Then Nicaraguan security police arrested six of Cayetano Carpio's closest adherents for the murder, and shortly afterward, the Nicaraguans announced that Cayetano Carpio had shot himself to death in Managua out of s grief at the actions of his colleagues...
Soon a different story emerged. Following a clandestine meeting of its Central Committee last December, the F.P.L. accused its deceased founder of "grave political, ideological and moral deformations," and of ordering Anaya Monies' murder. As a sign of its new, "moderate" direction, it named as Cayetano Carpio's successor Leonel González, 39, a former schoolteacher whose revolutionary specialty is underground organizing. The F.P.L. also acknowledged the breakaway of a more violence-prone splinter faction, the Salvador Cayetano Carpio Revolutionary Workers' Movement...
