Golf today is not the same game that First Putter Dwight Eisenhower played in the 1950s. Back then, says David Ferm, publisher of Golf Digest, "it was perceived as a game for fat, rich, old white guys." Today 40% of the 2 million newcomers are women, and club pros see an increasing number of African Americans and Hispanics concentrating on 10-ft. putts. Golf is also appealing to a younger crowd. And it shows. Myrtle Beach, S.C., for example, has evolved from a secluded, two-course resort town into a family golfing Mecca with 49 public and ten private links...
...F.M.L.N. delegation: Guillermo Ungo and Rubén Zamora of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, the rebels' political wing; Eduardo Sancho Castañeda (known as Fermán Cienfuegos), Lucio Castellanos, Facundo Guardado and Nidia Diaz, guerrilla military leaders...
Next comes Eduardo Sancho Castañeda, 37, leader of the 2,000-member Armed Forces of National Resistance (FARN). (He is better known by his nom de guerre, Fermán Cienfuegos.) A founding member of Villalobos' group, Sancho broke away after the Dalton murder in 1975.

Least influential is Roberto Roca, 36, head of the 300-member armed faction of the Central American Workers' Revolutionary Party...
...Argentina, the report was met with skepticism and anger. The nation's Roman Catholic bishops declared that the first step toward reconciliation should be a willingness by the military to admit its role in the disappearances. Emilio Fermín Mignone, head of the Center for Legal and Social Studies, expressed a widespread fear that until the military considers itself subject to "law and morality," voters can never be sure it will not mistreat them again. While Argentine law courts are clogged with 6,000 suits seeking information on the disappeared, the junta has long sought to avoid...
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...
