Jorge Enrique Pulido, 44, producer of the Bogota TV news show Mundo Vision, and anchorwoman Ximena Godoy, 20, had just finished a Sunday broadcast. As Pulido halted his cream Renault sedan at a stoplight two blocks from the government-owned Inravision studios, a man waiting on a red Suzuki motorcyle dismounted and opened fire.

Of the five opposition parties still in the race, two moderate groups-the Democratic Conservatives and the Popular Social Christians-may also bow out. That would leave only the Sandinistas and three small Marxist parties on the ballot, hardly a balanced choice. Though some Nicaraguans still hope that the government will postpone the elections and woo Godoy and Cruz back into the race, Ortega last week denied any such intentions.
