...guerrillas that fight for the rights of El Salvadorans. At any rate, don't dismiss them as cowards; Bobby Sands proved, as if McSwiney, Connolly. Pearse, de Valera and a hundred others hadn't, that the IRA men are willing to lay down their own lives for a free Ireland. Sands proved something else about the IRA, too-their struggle will not ever stop while their country remains divided and under alien rule. He died knowing he would not see Ulster ruled from Dublin, but sure that his comrades would carry on the fight. And he was buried...
FINALLY, SOME OBJECT that attention from America will do no good for people in Ireland. Our president has referred to the country's grief as an internal British affair; he and every other politician in the country should be made to recognize the British presence in Ireland for the basic violation of human rights that it is. Americans can boycott British goods, following the lead of the American longshoreman, who refused for 24 hours to load or unload ships flying the Union Jack.

The U.S. Government offered him $65 million in loan guarantees if his plant were built in Puerto Rico, but De Lorean took $114 million in loans and grants from Britain to make his cars near economically depressed Belfast in Northern Ireland...
...rail service, the leading London newspapers are distributed nationally. The Sunday editions (combined circ. 17.8 million) provide extensive national and international news, in-depth background reports and a wide range of reviews and entertainment stories. Also well entrenched are the Economist (U.K. circ. 69,000), TIME (British Isles and Ireland circ. 78,000) and Newsweek (circ. 40,000). Now! could not decide whether it was a feature or a newsmagazine. Its reporting never matched the newspapers', and its writing and analysis fell far short of the weeklies...
