After Castro overthrew the Batista regime, Del Pino learned to fly. Piloting a tiny T-33 trainer during the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, Del Pino shot down two U.S. B-26 bombers. The exploit, recounted in his 1969 book Dawn at the Bay of Pigs, made him a legend. He rose rapidly through the ranks and, in 1975, became a first commander. He was trained in the Soviet Union at the Yuri Gagarin Aviation College. As of last week, however, Del Pino was anything but admired by Cuba's Communist rulers. Characterizing his defection as "strange...
When a public opinion institute conducted a snap poll of more than 2,000 West Germans for their reaction to Rust's flight, 79% said they were "tickled" by the exploit. West German officials were considerably more somber. At week's end, said an aide to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the government had not received "so much as a police blotter" report from the Soviet Union about the incident.

He also wants to prevent his Arab rivals, notably Syrian President Hafez Assad, from continuing to exploit Palestinian feuding. For his part, Abu Nidal might welcome a reconciliation with the P.L.O. because his relations with his Syrian hosts have cooled considerably since 1986, when Assad came under heavy international pressure to distance himself from Abu Nidal-style terrorism...
...every square inch of the territories Israel has occupied since 1967, even though their 1.46 million residents are 96% Palestinian. He refuses to consider negotiations with the Soviets or indirect dealings with the P.L.O. or Arab governments. And he is infuriated that Peres may be trying to exploit the issue in order to force him out of office before his term expires next year. Since Peres and Shamir seem equally angry and determined, prospects for compromise are not bright...
