...years the Jesuits had taught El Salvador's young and struggled to bring peace to the country. Ellacuria's fierce hawklike face fairly shouted his fury at those responsible for the war's 70,000 dead, right wing and left. He had managed to anger both. Martin cared about the simple people; he would spend his weekends offering Mass and teaching first aid in the impoverished countryside. I found him a reliable source of information, especially because he oversaw the country's least biased public-opinion polls. A few years ago, a colleague asked Martin if there was any hope...
After months of being kept in the dark, however, the families no longer discount any theory. "I believe ((the CIA scenario)) is more than possible," says Giebler. She is not alone in her suspicion, nor in her anger about the offer by the Bush Administration to compensate the families of victims killed in the downing of an Iranian passenger jet by the U.S.S. Vincennes in July 1988. Some security analysts conclude that Iran ordered the bombing of Flight 103 to avenge the Iranian Airbus disaster. The families do not disagree.

No Pan Am or Government representative...

That anger found an outlet at the Nikolai Church, downtown, where a small band of peace activists had been meeting. Almost overnight their number grew into a mass movement for political freedom. "We didn't start this," says Pastor Christian Fuhrer, "but we protected it. We were the catalysts...
...leftist diatribe, and is even more of one in John Dexter's snarly, airless staging. Michael Feingold's translation claims to reflect more authentically the 1928 Berlin debut than the Marc Blitzstein version popularized in the '50s. It is surely less effective. For example, it freights the naive scrubwoman anger of Pirate Jenny with sophisticated detail that is out of character, and enervatingly transforms the last syllable of the second-act finale from a strident long vowel to a swallowed short one. Jocelyn Herbert's cumbersome set obstructs movement, draining energy. But emotion intensifies after a dozy first...
