...lush, pastoral tidiness of rural Connecticut. Ah, the tranquillity and the clean air-not to mention the attraction of living in a state with no income tax-that have made happy, settled residents of such literary luminaries as Playwright Arthur Miller, 61; Journalist Theodore H. White, 66, and his wife, Historian Beatrice K. Hofstadter; Novelist and Poet Robert Penn Warren, 76, and his wife, Writer Eleanor Clark; Author William Styron, 56; Humorist Peter De Vries, 62; Writer Harrison Salisbury, 73; and Novelist Philip Roth, 49.

Unfortunately for U.S. planners, El Salvador, a beautiful country of lush vegetation and picturesque mountain gorges, is currently one of the most violent lands in the world. An estimated 20,000 Salvadorans have been killed in the past two years alone. As many as 1,000 are murdered or disappear each month. Last week, for example, at least 19 people were killed during an antiguerrilla sweep by the Salvadoran army through a poor suburb of the nation's capital, San Salvador.
