...documents found on Grenada [Nov. 14] show exactly what the radical leftists planned. I am the student who the top-secret Grenadian report says "lives just below the Soviet embassy and seems to pay more than casual attention to all activities of the embassy." My relationship with the Soviet Ambassador and his staff was cordial though superficial. It amuses me to know that they suspected me of being a CIA agent. This accusation is just another example of Soviet paranoia...
...oppose the despotic rule of Sir Eric Gairy were gathered together in the New Jewel Movement after its Marxist leader, Maurice Bishop, took power in 1979. By and large, the N.J.M. followed Bishop to the grave in October. The only existing political group on the island is the Grenadian National Party, which has fewer than two dozen members and whose leader lies crippled by arthritis on the sister island of Carriacou.

Well, that's just what we asked ourselves." By week's end, however, the leaders had apparently agreed upon a resolution condemning intervention without mentioning...
Midway through the talks, the leaders repaired to the seaside resort of Goa for three days. The respite, and the resolution of the Grenadian issue, may have put the participants in a sunnier mood for their New Delhi discussions this week. An end to the grumpiness seemed quite likely, since the talks were expected to turn to subjects on which the members are mostly in agreement: the independence of Namibia from South Africa (which the Commonwealth supports), and the declaration of an independent state two weeks ago by ethnic Turks in Commonwealth-member Cyprus (which the body deplores...
