...anti-U.S. declarations that made a mockery of the movement's name, the New Delhi summit marked a return to moderation. The main reason was the influence of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who, as the summit's host, automatically assumed the leadership from Cuban President Fidel Castro. At the last summit meeting, which took place in Havana, Castro tried, but failed, to have the conference formally recognize the Soviet Union as the natural ally of the nonaligned. In contrast, last week's meeting returned to the principle established by Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Yugoslav...
...poster gallery of Nicaraguan revolutionary heroes kept silent watch, John Paul exhorted priests to obey their bishops and to preserve the unity of the church. It was a clear show of support for Archbishop Obando y Bravo. In tones that must have echoed strangely from the same platform Fidel Castro had once used to praise the Sandinistas, the Pope condemned the "popular church," a grassroots movement in Nicaragua committed to revolution. He referred to a letter he had written to Nicaraguan bishops last June, and said that it was "absurd and dangerous" to try to form an alternate church. Christian...
...time being, De la Madrid enjoys the support of the power blocs within the P.R.I., including labor, peasants and the bureaucracy. One important figure to watch is Fidel Velásquez, 82, head of the 3.5 million-member Confederation of Mexican Workers, the country's most powerful union organization.

As a result, the devaluation did not significantly help the competitiveness of Mexican exports, and inflation moved toward the three-digit range. On the eve of De la Madrid...
...handful of poets, historians, teachers, scientists, humanists. None have appreciably influenced popular opinion, let alone Washington. This is regrettable: the perpetuation of this attitude is and will continue to be fatal for the U.S. and for the whole continent. It is hardly necessary to recall the case of Fidel Castro, whom Washington pushed toward Moscow (or to whom, at least, the U.S. gave the pretext for falling into Soviet arms). Without firing a shot, the Soviet Union obtained what Napoleon III in the 19th century and Wilhelm II in the 20th could not: a political and military base...
...fiscally wobbly, Brazil most prominently. There Reagan reassured Figueiredo that the U.S. is not about to let Brazil's precarious economy, the world's tenth largest, collapse. Reagan also went south to reaffirm his Administration's antagonism toward the hemisphere's first Marxist regime (Fidel Castro's Cuba) and the latest (Sandinist Nicaragua). His stops in Costa Rica and Honduras symbolically isolated Nicaragua, which is wedged in between. Reagan also conferred with President Alvaro Magafta of El Salvador and Guatemalan Strongman General Ephrain Rios Montt, both of whom face leftist insurgencies. Though Reagan made...
