...Honduras the three-man military junta headed by General Policardo Paz has made a few concessions that may isolate the leftist terrorists who are trying to bring it down. The government paid no more than lip service to Somoza's plea that it crack down on Sandinista bases near the Nicaragua border. "They've made some of the right moves," says a State Department official, "but the violent opposition, which is heavily Marxist, still remains powerful...

Instead of the gradual slide that economists were predicting would begin in midsummer or early fall, the second-quarter gross national product fell at a substantial annual rate of 3.3%. Most forecasters had anticipated that the downturn at worst would bring a decline of 2% or so. In a confidential revised forecast last week, some top governmental economists conceded that the slump will be worse than anticipated this year and will be followed by an "anemic" recovery...
