...those same towns in a convoy of campaign helicopters, greeted by firecrackers. But many, if not most, of the local Mayas not only hail Ríos Montt as their man - they absolve him of any guilt for the atrocities. "It's just a black campaign against him," says Catalín Pastor, an Ixil Maya in traditional garb, as she mounts the stage for a Ríos Montt rally in San Juan Cotzal. At 22, Pastor doesn't remember Ríos Montt's dictatorship - and she's proud to be running for a seat in Congress with...

...Mexico ambitious Diego Martínez-Barrio, last president of Spain's Republican Cortes, presided over a meeting of four factions: Izquierda Republicana (Republican Left), Unión Republicana, Catalána Esquerra (Catalan Left), Partido Nacionalista Basco (Basque Nationalists). Main agreement: that the last president of the Republican Cortes will decide when to re-establish the Republican Government in Spain. But absent from the meeting were the followers of Juan Negrín, Socialist last Premier of Republican Spain, now in England, as well as powerful other Socialist and Communist groups...
