...foot-long horizontal cut was found across Andrews' abdomen, says Dr. Rogelio Marcial, the coroner. It was a postmortem assault. She had been killed with a gunshot wound to the back that pierced her heart. The baby was removed within the next seven to 10 minutes. "This was a well-planned affair," said Marcial. The information for making the cut is widely available. According to Marcial: "all you have to do is look at books or the Internet, something like Babyzone. It's just like making bombs." Police believe Michelle Bica may have started keeping track of Andrews when they...
...even those close to Fujimori warn against interpreting his welcome in pueblos jovenes as blanket backing. "He shows up in neighborhoods where not many people have work," says one skeptical adviser, "and it's the day's entertainment. Of course they are going to come out and wave."

To the list of the General's accomplishments, not the least of which was setting Panama on the road to becoming only the second Central American nation to form...
...lived to a ripe old age for a Salvadoran revolutionary mainly because of a fanatical obsession with security. Until recently, he and his closest lieutenants always wore hoods at meetings to hide their real identities even from one another. Carpio was known only by his nom de guerre, Marcial. His daughter Guadalupe, also a Communist organizer, was killed during a political demonstration in El Salvador in 1980. The guerrillas' campaign in El Salvador, Carpio says, "has been a struggle of twelve years. Twelve years of spilling the blood of very valuable comrades, hundreds of the most valuable...
