...list, mark it, and hand out a ballot emblazoned with the party emblems of the competing candidates. After the voter marked his ballot and placed it in a transparent Lucite box (to forestall accusations of ballot-box stuffing), his ID card was stamped and his finger dipped in indelible ink. AL told, more than 180,000 people monitored the process. The commissioners forgot just three things: the F.M.L.N. guerrillas, the dislocation produced by more than four years of civil war, and the lack of sophistication of most Salvadoran voters...
Restaurants and hotels catering to the business trade are adding this accouterment for the executive table.

Losses for 1983 still added up to $146.7 million, but Tippett was nonetheless pleased. "It has been a long dry spell," said...
...Anyone but Reagan" has been the Democratic rallying cry this year and, no doubt, when the general election takes place in November, most Democrats will ink in that anybody. But tomorrow's election is a Democratic primary--a time for Democratic voters to signal not only which candidate they prefer, but also what direction they believe the party should take. More than any other Democratic contender, McGovern represents the principled and humane outlook that has typically distinguished the Democratic Party from the Republicans in general, and Ronald Reagan in particular...
