...incautiously gave vocal support to a coup by young, reform-minded Salvadoran army officers. When the revolt was crushed, Duarte was hauled from his sanctuary in a Venezuelan diplomatic residence, held incommunicado and brutally beaten. His cheekbones still bear indentations from that torture. Telegrams from Pope Paul VI, Richard Nixon and Notre Dame President Theodore Hesburgh brought about his release; Duarte spent the next seven years in exile in Venezuela...
