...stand does not deter Rogers, the son of a machinist and assembly-line worker. Designing strategy in his Manhattan office, often dressed in a T shirt and jeans, he hardly looks imposing. But he can marshal large forces as effectively as many a general. Rogers has sent carloads of United Paperworkers -- "caravans" he calls them -- to gather support at the plants and union halls of other industries. The response has been encouraging: in April more than 8,500 sympathizers from unions around the U.S. converged for a rally at the Jay mill, roughly doubling the town's population...
...Honduras in response to the Nicaraguan invasion highlights these problems. At hearings before the Senate last week, Secretary of State George Shultz said, "It's important that people know the United States will fight." The Administration properly used military force in Honduras to bolster Tegucigalpa's morale and to deter further Nicaraguan incursions across the border.

...just to punish specific troublemakers but to terrorize the population into submission. Said Shamir: "Our task now is to re-create the barrier of fear between Palestinians and the Israeli military, and once again put the fear of death into the Arabs of the areas so as to deter them from attacking us anymore." Until a renewed outburst of protests in the West Bank and Gaza at week's end that, according to Arab sources, left 15 injured by live ammunition as well as rubber bullets, the policy had brought a measure of uneasy calm to the occupied territories.
