In fact, the Sandinistas were slightly loosening press censorship, and declaring their intention to proceed on schedule with national elections-criticized by the Reagan Administration as hopelessly biased in favor of the regime-on Nov. 4. Observed a Western diplomat in Managua: "For once, the Sandinistas seem to be handling the situation in a mature and sophisticated fashion." Another explanation might be that the Nicaraguan regime...
