The Soviets, of course, would like nothing better than to have the U.S. saddled with the Western Hemisphere equivalent of the U.S.S.R.'s own hostile neighbor, China. Refugees by the hundreds of thousands would pour over U.S. borders, competing with Americans for jobs and straining social services. Even if that scenario should not come to pass, the stakes are high. With its tough talk and lofty goals, the Administration has made Central America a test of U.S. prestige, credibility and power...
