Even if the colonel's remarks seemed oddly bland, he knew that the stakes are high in the Honduran war games. For one thing, the Big Pine exercises are taking place next door to revolutionary Nicaragua, a country the Reagan Administration considers to be a dangerous Marxist-Leninist force in the hemisphere, with ties to Cuba and the Soviet Union. For another, El Salvador is also in the neighborhood, and although the Administration has consistently ruled out the possibility of sending U.S. troops to fight leftist guerrillas there, American advisers in Honduras have begun training Salvadoran soldiers...
...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.

...analysis. A Kennedy School professor was working from a case study on the cost and benefits of building a dam, and explaining how to weigh the cost of finding alternative accomodations for Indians in the proposed site against the benefits of the improved power the dam would provide. A Marxist member of the Mexican faculty broke in and criticized the technique as being too capitalistic and rebuked the K-School delegation for importing capitalism under the pretext of professionalism...
