...popular support for such a change. Where the existing dictatorial regime is in addition unscrupulous and well-armed, force is also necessary. Can the United States by its own power supply both the force and the political will to change another nation's form of government?

Mimicking Mondale rallies, the organizers offered hundreds of "special" passes which would entitle the lucky holders to "greet" Jackson. They set up "risers" for TV cameras and cordoned off special press areas.
