...Liberals' candidate for President next May: "The traditional parties have lost contact with a certain sector of the population." He meant the thousands of excampesinos who squat in squalid shacks surrounding Bogota and Cartagena and have been growing restive under the lackluster rule of Conservative President Guillermo León Valencia. During the campaign, Rojas drew enthusiastic crowds with his vivid lectures on economics, in which he argued that the way to get the peso on a par with the dollar was to "lock up all Colombians with money outside the country and not let them go until they...
...Fifth Rankers. For Franco Spain, that is quite a step forward. "The fact that we have an independent judiciary ensures fairness," says the publisher of the weekly Blanco y Negro, Guillermo Luca de Tena.

The island's annual health budget came to only $1.3 million-a mere 80? per capita...
...Caracas, dynamite an oil pipeline, or raid some remote village. Last week one band clashed with government troops 200 miles south of Caracas, and when the shooting was over two guerrillas and two soldiers were dead. In neighboring Colombia, long troubled by a siege of backlands banditry, President Guillermo Leon Valencia's biggest headache is "Sure Shot" Pedro Antonio Marin, 35, who leads some 100 guerrillas and killed 17 people on one recent backlands raid. Another 150 guerrillas are operating in the Guatemala countryside, the most important group led by Marco Antonio Yon Sosa, 34, a onetime army lieutenant...
