...Central America, the main aim of the CBI is to fight Marxist-led subversion and insurgency. But in the 2,000-mile-long sweep of islands that dapple the Caribbean Sea, the problems are very different. The area's twelve sovereign nations, nine of which have become independent since 1961, face poverty, high unemployment, crippling debt and declining income from their few marketable commodities. TIME Caribbean Bureau Chief William McWhirter and Correspondent Bernard Diederich visited much of the archipelago and interviewed its worried leaders. Their report...
Francisco Fiallos Navarro, 36, has been faced with a daunting task: defending the interests of Nicaragua's Marxist-led Sandinista government to a hostile Administration in Washington. For ten months the unassuming Ambassador to the U.S. performed the job loyally and, according to State Department officials, well.

Fiallos' version was that he had quit, becoming the second Nicaraguan Ambassador...

"It was carnage," said one rescuer. "Mutilated bodies were lying everywhere." Said the wife of the local pharmacist: "Bodies were strewn all around, and injured survivors, some with ghastly wounds, staggered about in a state of shock." Others told of carrying out victims who had lost limbs, while doctors from Londonderry...
