The New York Stock Exchange delayed the opening of Disney stock by 2½ hrs. because of a rush to sell. By the end of the day the listing had dropped $2.50 a share, from $58.88. It closed the week...
...participate in national elections last March, the U.S. and the leaders of El Salvador's major parties interpreted the turnout as a stinging repudiation of the left-wing insurgency. While the rebels fell back to ponder the fate of their crusade, the Salvadoran high command exhorted them to lay down their arms and "join the fight the people want, the struggle for peace." But the unspoken truce did not last long.
