...death came for the Archbishop cuts deep into the soul of El Salvador. At 6 p.m. on March 24, 1980, Oscar Arnulfo Romero, the Archbishop of San Salvador and an outspoken critic of the military terrorism that was ravaging the country, was celebrating Mass in the small, humid chapel of the Hospital of Divine Providence. As he delivered his sermon, a gunshot shattered the calm of the ceremony. The Archbishop toppled to the floor, his heart pierced by a single bullet. Blood stained the white altar cloth. Bending down to give the gray-haired prelate a final kiss...

But last week the political career of Roberto ("Major Bob") D'Aubuisson, 42, was at least temporarily eclipsed, when he resigned as head of the ultra-rightist Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), which...
Barletta's tenure had never been easy. His narrow election victory in May 1984 over Populist Arnulfo Arias Madrid was marred by accusations of fraud at the ballot box. Critics also habitually charged that Barletta was manipulated by the strong-willed commander of Panama's Defense Forces, General Manuel Antonio Noriega. Last May, Barletta had to replace his entire 13-member Cabinet after the ministers resigned under pressure from restive members of his own coalition. In explaining his sudden resignation, Barletta said, "I wish to make a contribution to the keeping of peace in our country...
