...years-long dedication to winning the presidency can fully appreciate what today's reaffirmation of the democratic process in France represents." But the Administration does not quite know what Mitterrand stands for (see WORLD), and there is considerable apprehension that he may include members of France's pro-Soviet Communist Party in his Cabinet after next month's parliamentary elections. If that should happen, said a State Department official, "all across-the-board relations would be difficult...
...anti-Soviet interests. Said he: "It is fundamentally important to begin to develop a consensus of strategic concerns throughout the region among Arab and Jew, and to be sure that the overriding danger of Soviet inroads is not overlooked." In a shift from Carter Administration policy, he said that American troops might be stationed in the Sinai a year from now as part of an international peace-keeping force if a United Nations team cannot be organized to stabilize the area after Israeli withdrawal.

...Soviets also make use of "clandestine" radio broadcasts, transmissions that purport to originate from within a particular recipient country but actually come from the Soviet Union or an East bloc ally.

The American hope has always been to find a democratic, non-radical, viable "third force" in place of the other two unpalatable alternatives. In El Salvador, at long last, we are confronted by a real "third force." It, the present government...
...Anastasio Somoza would join together to rebuild the war-shattered country. That did not happen. The nine-member Sandinista directorate, which is the real political power behind the country's five-man governing junta, has angered Nicaragua's nonradical friends abroad by adopting a strongly pro-Cuban and pro-Soviet foreign policy. The Sandinistas have also alienated nearly all their onetime anti-Somoza allies at home by trying to impose one-party rule on the country. The regime must now choose whether to move toward the center and share power with other political groups, or to retain...
