...troubles seemed to be momentarily forgotten as the Korean Air Lines disaster and the war in Lebanon captured world attention. In both El Salvador and Nicaragua, guerrillas engaged government troops in some of the most intense fighting in months.

To no one's surprise, Daniel Ortega Saavedra, 37, coordinator of Nicaragua's ruling junta, lashed out at the U.S. during his address to the U.N.

...keeping with Marxist-Leninist principles, the judges' guidelines emphasized intelligence and morals over beauty. But the 21-year-old winner, Lidia Wasiak (35-24-36), is a knockout by any ideological standard. The competition for Poland's first beauty queen in 25 years was held last week at Warsaw's Palace of Culture and Science, where Wasiak won the crown that opens the way to the Miss World contest this November in London. A crowd of 4,000 watched their comely comrades parade across the stage in regional costumes, evening gowns and finally, in an inescapable concession...
