...point: the U.S. may have intervened directly two weeks ago, but the Soviets and the Cubans have been engaging in indirect aggression in the Western Hemi sphere for years. Nor is the problem confined to superpowers. The Sandinista government of Nicaragua provides tactical aid and support for the Marxist-Leninist rebels of nearby El Salvador, and the U.S., of course, is backing anti-Sandinista rebels. (Last week the U.S. Senate approved $19 million in continuing covert aid for the Nicaraguan insurgents.) Says Detlev Vagts, professor of law at Harvard: "I don't think international law has got a grip...

...dedicated to the resistance of Marxist-Leninist totalitarianism. We are also dedicated to human rights and democracy. It is in pursuit of both of these objectives that we have come to look at the situation." So declared former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as he arrived at San Salvador's Ilopango airport last week accompanied by the eleven other members of the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America.

...middle and upper classes in Nicaragua (pop. 2.9 million). Their feeling of disquiet about the country's future is loudly echoed by the Reagan Administration. In Washington's view, Nicaragua and its four-year-old Sandinista government have emerged as a new and threatening variety of Marxist-Leninist rule on the mainland of the Americas. The Reagan Administration has not hesitated to signal its concern by military means: a fleet of U.S. warships has been conducting "readiness exercises" off Nicaraguan shores, while 3,500 U.S. troops have assembled across the border in Honduras for the largest series...

...catalyzed the national rebellion that was already building against the regime, and subsequently served to sunder the bereaved family. In 1980, only a year after the revolution, the newspaper was paralyzed by a struggle between family members who supported the new Sandinista government and those critical of its Marxist-Leninist tendencies. The conservatives won, and Chamorro's brother Xavier, editor of La Prensa, left to form his own newspaper, taking most of the staff with him.
