...Clifford, 9-7. Saturday belonged to Sibilski, as the freshman walked away with two victories. She defeated Illinois’ Leigh Finnegan, 6-2, 6-3, in flight A singles, and then teamed up with Schnitter to convincingly beat the Fighting Illini pair of Christina Stromberg and Alejandra Meza Cuadra, 8-0. “Agnes did a great job all weekend fighting through matches against tough opponents,” assistant coach Julia Scaringe said. Nobody else was able to summon a victory on Day 2 of the event, although Rosekrans played a close match with Illinois?...

El Nuevo Diario (circ. 48,000), edited by Xavier, 50, is solidly progovernment. Barricada (circ. 80,000), edited by Chamorro's youngest son, Carlos Fernando, 27, is the official paper of the Sandinista movement...

"Pecos Bill," 29, abandoned his 27,000-acre ranch and 2,500 cattle because, as a former second lieutenant in Dictator Anastasio Somoza's National Guard, he feared reprisals after the Sandinistas took over. Maria Cristina Cuadra, 17, first ran into trouble after she was caught pulling down pictures of Revolutionary Heroes Augusto César Sandino and Carlos Fonseca.
