Queso Fresco and Cotija are household words in many Hispanic homes, particularly in Los Angeles. The two south-of-the-border-style cheeses are made by the Jalisco Mexican Products Inc. plant in Artesia, Calif., whose major markets are in nine Western states. But 22 deaths or stillbirths in Los Angeles County have been linked to the soft white cheeses, which federal health officials say were contaminated with the deadly and fast-acting bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. In virtually all of the 94 confirmed cases, Hispanics have been the victims...
...only of the Lebanese Shi'ites still held by Israel, but of a few others imprisoned in Cyprus and Kuwait. They also demanded the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon (a pullout has been under way since January and, except for patrols and forays back into the border area, is now virtually complete) and international condemnation of the U.S. and Israel. In a broader sense, the Shi'ites of Lebanon, newly radicalized by the violence that has plagued their country, particularly since the Israeli invasion of June 1982, are seeking a fairer shake after generations of neglect...
Sandinista forces outnumber the contras by 110,000 to an estimated 17,000. Well supplied with Soviet arms and equipment, the Nicaraguan army has much more mobility and firepower than the rebels. Since April the Sandinistas have kept the contras on the run, pushing them north over the Honduran border and south into Costa Rica. Last month Nicaraguan troops actually drove about three miles into Honduras and shelled Las Vegas, the base camp of the largest contra faction, the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN). The contras lack even the guerrillas' traditional element of surprise: Sandinista spies have thoroughly infiltrated rebel camps...
...seized on the increased speculation about invasion plans as proof that his repeated warnings of U.S. intervention were not "something we invented, but rather something that is being discussed and prepared by American strategists." Meanwhile, the Sandinista army continued to press its attacks on contra bases along Nicaragua's borders in some of the most intense fighting of the more than three-year conflict. Government troops drove the rebels from all of their camps along the San Juan River, which forms part of the country's southern border with Costa Rica. Sandinista bombers then pounded guerrilla communications installations and supply...
Already Costa Rica has downgraded diplomatic relations with Nicaragua over recent border incidents. Two of its civil guardsmen were killed in an ambush that it blames on the Nicaraguan army; Managua denies responsibility. In addition, a 40-man Costa Rican patrol that went to retrieve one of the bodies was shelled from Nicaraguan territory, even though Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel d'Escoto had been advised of the operation and had promised no interference...
