Located about eight miles southwest of Maui, the 45-sq.-mi. Hawaiian islet of Kahoola we consists mostly of arid red earth and barren rock. It is inhabited only by about 400 wild goats. To the U.S. Navy, the island is an ideal target range; since 1941, pilots have blasted it with millions of tons of bombs, shells and rockets. But to native Hawaiians, Kahoolawe is sacred ground, home of the gentle rain goddess Hina...
...past 19 months, bands of young Hawaiian demonstrators have landed on Kahoolawe. Their purpose: by their presence to force the Navy to stop the bombing, at least temporarily. Sometimes the game of hares and hounds turns dangerous: two protesters drowned in rough seas while trying to swim back to Maui after one foray.

The West could provide moral support; this would probably boost the moderates' standing in the eyes of the M.F.A. In fact, that was the maui purpose behind last weekend's meeting in Stockholm between Soares and Western Europe's leading Social Democrats, who have given his party modest financial support. Soares has also developed good relations with such pragmatic Communist bosses as Italy's Enrico Berlinguer and Spain's Santiago Carrillo...
