What began in 1948 as partisan warfare between Liberals and Conservatives has degenerated over the years into banditry and blood lust virtually devoid of any political meaning. The senseless slaughter goes on although the Liberal and Conservative parties agreed to a truce in 1957. President Guillermo Leon Valencia, a Conservative, has pressed the search for known bandits; but the campaign to hunt them down appears to make some bandit chieftains all the more savage. Until...
