...Apolinar Castillo is slight for his eleven years. But size is an advantage for Apolinar, who has been a farm laborer since he was five. He can reach down to the squat chili bushes with ease; his nimble little hands are perfect for plucking ripe chili peppers. "He can pick faster than any of us," beams his father Luis, who works alongside...
...still to early to tell whether the recent efforts by students to organize themselves will succeed or, if they fail, what positions the inevitable factions will take.

Early one evening last week, two well-dressed young men called at the home of Billy Rial Castillo, 30, a Mormon missionary who lives across the street from Montevideo's Punta Carreta federal prison. "We are Tupamaros," said the men as they pulled out pistols and identified themselves as members of the urban guerrilla group that has served as a model for terrorists in many of the world's major cities. "We need this house for an operation." The operation...
