...latest incidents came shortly before last week's election, when guerrillas kidnaped Government Information Chief Baltasar Morales and Supreme Court President Romeo de León, killing Morales' son and his chauffeur in a blaze of pistol fire.

The last act is again ponderous as it attempts to make minimal order of the entanglements already created...

At his height, Danny hardly seems a threat to any healthy policewoman; yet he has managed to get himself picked up twice for "investigation" and arrested five times on charges ranging from assault to murder, including two arrests since his release for packing a pistol and selling barbiturates. So far, he has beaten every...
