...Salvadorans travel in vulnerable column formations along main roads. Says a frustrated U.S. aide in San Salvador: "The key to counterinsurgency is employing the same tactics that the guerrillas use: night fighting, small patrols, avoidance of roads and open spaces. But it is just not sinking in." Guerrilla Leader Eduardo Solorsa, 32, who fought the U.S.-trained troops, last week scoffed at them as "young people from the cities who do not know the territory. Their efficiency will be limited...
...Salvador, are of a somewhat different sort. El Espino's shareholders and their families, who number more than 1,000, have just been told that the government is planning to confiscate their best acreage to build four new military barracks and a training ground.

The move assured Galtieri's path to the presidency last December. A military man who states his views explicitly with few ifs, ands or buts, Galtieri has been compared...
...Eduardo Sancho Castañeda, 35. Better known as Fermán Cienfuegos, Sancho commands the Armed Forces of National Resistance (FARN), a group that split from the E.R.P. over internal political differences. At times it seemed as if the two terrorist organizations were spending as much time shooting at each other as at their common enemy, the Salvadoran military. FARN was the only guerrilla group to break with the guerrillas' united front after it was formed in early 1980, at the insistence of Fidel Castro. FARN rejoined the others, however, within a few months, after...
