Javier Heraud Perez was a Peruvian of real promise. His father was a respected Lima lawyer, his older brother a brilliant electronics engineer doing postgraduate study in England, his family one of distinguished lineage. Two years ago, as a 19-year-old student of literature at Lima's Catholic University, Javier won acclaim as one of Peru's best young poets when he published his first volume, El Viaje (The Journey).

When a Vang Airlines 707 jet crashed near Lima last November, ten Cubans were on the plane, and Castro rushed a 27-man delegation to pick up the pieces. But the Peruvians collected the evidence first, including documents reportedly detailing guerrilla activities in Brazil.
