Four years after the popular uprising that overthrew the bloody and grasping dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle, Nicaragua is still lurching through an erratic political and social transformation, in which many of the ultimate goals of the regime are, at best, haphazardly defined. Consequently, Nicaragua abounds in paradox and ambiguity as its leadership claims to be launched upon a new experiment: an attempt to align Marxism-Leninism with the principles of political pluralism and democracy.

...magic chemistry of courage, anger and desperation that makes men wager their lives for an ideal fired Hungary into revolution last week.

The rebel group is led by Edén Pastora Gómez, "Commander Zero," a hero of the revolution that overthrew Dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979 and now a bitter opponent of the Sandinista government. Dozens of people were in the terminal at the moment of the attack, but only four people were injured, mostly by shrapnel and flying debris. One, a young military reservist, died the next day.
