What little harsh reaction there was came mostly from Roberto d'Aubuisson, head of the ultrarightist Nationalist Republican Alliance and Duarte's bitter opponent in the March presidential elections. D'Aubuisson denounced the gesture as "a political show, a farce." He later adopted a more conciliatory posture after his vice-presidential running mate, Hugo Barrera, endorsed Duarte's notion of talks with the guerrillas and asked only that the President spell out "clear, definite and concrete means" toward a solution to the civil war. The right's quiet response was a sign of another Duarte...
...into an uncommonly vicious, gloves-off slugfest. The Hunt organization early this summer ran a television advertisement linking Helms to the right-wing death squads in El Salvador. The commercial opened with the sound of gunfire and photos of massacred Salvadoran citizens. A picture of Salvadoran Roberto d'Aubuisson appeared, and a narrator identified him as "the man accused of directing those death squads." A picture of Helms then appeared, and the narrator said, "This is the man whose aides helped D'Aubuisson set up his political party in El Salvador . . . Now Jesse Helms may be a crusader...
Duarte has been less successful in reaching an accommodation with the 60-member National Assembly, where his Christian Democrats, with 24 seats, lack a majority.

Somewhat similarly, Edén Pastora Gómez, the maverick "Commander Zero" of the Nicaraguan revolution who later took up arms against his victorious comrades, has come to illustrate the troubles of Washington's covert effort to put pressure on the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. Both of these flamboyant figures happened to be in Washington last week just after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to cut aid to anti-Sandinista contra...
...reporters about promised reforms ("Give me a few weeks, please," he said in general exasperation), Duarte seemed intent on moving cautiously. However, he did order an eleven-member military commission to 'Open an inquiry into the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero. Meanwhile, Roberto d'Aubuisson, Duarte's rightist rival in last month's elections, who was once accused by former U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador Robert White of plotting Romero's murder, received a visa to visit the U.S. After denying D'Aubuisson permission to enter the country during the past year...
