Minutes of other meetings held from Sept. 14 to Sept. 16 showed a party worried about its tenuous hold on Grenadian popular support. "The mood of the masses is characterized at worst by open dissatisfaction and cynicism," said the document, "and at best by serious demoralization." During a meeting on Sept. 28, one participant referred to "the crisis in the party, the atmosphere of confusion." On Oct. 12, the language was heavy with suspicion and paranoia. "There seems to be a mood in the party for blood," one leader is quoted as saying. It was at this session that...
Additional documents were shown to TIME by Soldier of Fortune, a Boulder, Colo., monthly magazine that specializes in military weapons and tactics; it said the papers had been overlooked by U.S. forces. The documents indicate that Grenada also had military agreements with Viet Nam, Nicaragua and at least one Soviet-bloc country. A top-secret paper dated May 18, 1982, records a shipment of ammunition and explosives that arrived from Czechoslovakia via Cuba. One document, signed last November by Nicaragua's Vice Minister of Defense, provides for the establishment of a course in Grenada to teach English-language military...
Under pressure from Syria, the Muslims and the Druze reiterated their demand that the Israeli-Lebanese agreement be scrapped.

NORA's autobiography is that of a disciple, but one senses that she as narrator has still not understood the ideal towards which the novel pushes, the grasping of Lautner's particular ideology. Her struggle is therefore simply a document, neither cast into perspective nor interpreted incisively. This results partly from the limitations of Schwamm's technique: the author frequently displays such annoying faults as complacently explicating the dialogue she has just penned. Nora's attitude towards her father, for example, is summarized: "She loved him and regarded him as wise-after-all. Sometimes she was ashamed...
...Historical Association has commended the film's historical accuracy and plans to present it at its annual convention in December. In rewriting the script, Young looked at the original court transcripts, depositions, and newspaper articles from the case. The film is already being used in schools and colleges to document the social climate in the border states in the early twentieth century. But its importance for the present is even more pronounced. Watching the cultural conflict between Cortez and his Anglo adversaries brings the audience closer to dealing with its own cultural biases. The tragedy that resulted from the language...
