Wacker said Cabot's house committee plans to establish a memorial for Strassmann, although it will not male final plans until this fall...
...such talks, he vowed, would never cede a share of governing power ("the piece of cake") to the revolutionaries. He said he would continue El Salvador's ambitious but teetering land-reform program (see WORLD). Perhaps most significant in terms of U.S. support, Duarte said he would establish commissions to investigate the thousands of political murders committed by the extreme right.

But last week the court finally set forth its guiding principles and swept away a variety of state and lower federal court standards that had grown up in the absence of a firm ruling from the high bench. The landmark that David Washington helped establish, however, did not save him. His death sentence stands...
