...Mass in Warsaw's St. John's Cathedral to commemorate the official registration one year ago of Rural Solidarity, the now suspended agricultural union. Later, 5,000 Poles jammed the same cathedral for a Mass marking the 41th anniversary of the death of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, the nationalist and anti-Soviet military hero who led Poland between the World Wars...
...decade, Sino-American relations have been defined by the Shanghai Communiqué signed during President Richard Nixon's historic visit to Peking in 1972. In that document, the U.S. agreed that mainland China and the island republic of Taiwan, which is governed by the Nationalist Party that fled the mainland after its defeat by the Communists in 1949, constitute "one China."

With those words, Roberto d'Aubuisson, 38, the charismatic leader of El Salvador's right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), tried to allay the fears generated by his designation as President of El Salvador's new constituent assembly. D'Aubuisson, who was once described by former U.S. Ambassador Robert White as a "pathological killer," had just assumed a key position in a country racked by left-wing insurgency and right-wing terror that have left some 30,000 people dead since October 1979. D'Aubuisson's election was an apparent defeat not only...
