...Pingnan to U.S. Ambassador U. Alexis Johnson: "The People's Republic of China recognizes that Americans ... who desire to return to the U.S. are entitled to do so." Out of Red China will come 41 U.S. citizens-including 26 victims of long jail terms and three of house arrest, eleven who have long been denied exit permits, all illegally detained. For their release the U.S. made a down payment. It agreed that India might enquire into the cases of any of the 117,000 Chinese in the U.S. who might claim to the Indian embassy that they are being...
Last week, after four months of sleuthing, bolstered by a proffered $100,000 (Hong Kong) reward, Hong Kong police issued a warrant for the arrest of one Chow Tse-ming, a $25-a-month airfield employee who had helped clean out the plane during its stopover, and, presumably, planted a bomb in the starboard wheel-well.

...fortnight ago a court issued a warrant for Bolanos' arrest on a charge that Comercial Guatemalteca had failed to live up to its contract to deliver 5,000 metric tons of corn to a government agency (apparently it was more profitable to sell available corn to private dealers). But last week the warrant had not been served, Bolanos was at liberty, and Comercial Guatemalteca was still in business. The government even granted the firm a license to import 4,000 metric tons of frijoles (black beans), now selling at scarcity prices in Guatemala, and 100,000 sacks of cement...
