...reformist military officers ousted Molina's successor, General Carlos Humberto Romero Mena. A year later Duarte became the junta President. He helped begin a sweeping land reform and the nationalization of local banks and export industries, thereby further alienating the oligarchy. Conservatives began calling Duarte a "watermelon"-Christian Democratic green on the outside, red on the inside-especially during the recent election campaign, when he declared that he favored a national "dialogue." What Duarte meant was that he would seek to create a climate in which any rebels who wanted to reject violence could return to take part...
...business entertainment, but three-star restaurants are thriving as never before. "There was a downswing the first year," says Frangois Benoist, owner of Chez les Anges hi Paris. "But business recovered, and now is better than it's ever been." One possible reason: tighter currency export controls have prevented well-to-do French from spending their money abroad and compelled them, as it were, to eat it at home...
...Taiwan. Reagan has dampened his support for the island nation considerably since he became President.

...best at. But Bauer's recommendation suggests that Third World nations join a system rigged against them. Much like American farmers. Third World nations find the prices they receive for their products seldom keep pace with the prices of the things they must buy to satisfy their populations. They export items whose prices are largely dictated to them by richer industrial powers. The only group of exporters who were for a time, able to escape from this trap was the OPPC nations, who used monopolistic practices that a free-market Tan like Bauer would surely not encourage. Bauer's idea...
Arguments over "how much" or "when to use" should be welcomed in places like Harvard and Cambridge. Such public forums as the referendum last fall and the Nuclear Study Group's book served a good purpose. Concepts like "no first use" or "no export" for chemical and biological warfare can be debated in forums or specially commissioned studies. But emotional revulsions by city health departments and head-in-the-sand disclaimers from professors serve no one--especially not the Laotians and Afghans dying from Soviet-manufactured "yellow rain...
