...views of the Christian Democrats. One thing is certain: leaders of the Christian Democrats have had ties with the Revolutionary Democratic Front [F.D.R.] and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front [F.M.L.N.] [the political and military arms of the guerrilla movement]. I will provide proof at the beginning of next week. But we will invite those Christian Democrats who have the capacity to participate in a government of national conciliation to join...
...Cuban mentors, have in fact played a controlling (rather than just a shadowy but significant) part in the El Salvador civil war. To his critics, Haig is still a long way from making that case convincing. A "white paper" issued by the State Department in February 1981 cited "proof that rebel arms were being channeled by Cuba and the Soviet Union through Nicaragua; the evidence was sloppily presented and exaggerated in some cases, opening the Administration to charges of fraud. Last week the State Department had problems producing the two defectors from the Nicaraguan Air Force who were supposed...
What is more, a negotiated settlement would undercut the U.S. position in the East-West struggle with the Soviet Union; it would be proof that the leading power in the West could not find a way to protect a friendly government close at hand.

In Central and South America, where U.S. resolve is already under question, the result would be particularly troublesome...
...math is not, after all, a natural male domain. With Researcher Sharon Senk, Professor Zalman Usiskin, a specialist in high school mathematics curriculums and an author of several math texts, studied 1,366 tenth-graders. They were selected from geometry classes and tested on their ability to solve geometry proofs, a subject requiring both abstract reasoning and spatial ability. Says Usiskin: "If you're a math whiz or a computer bug, you're going to pick up equations and formulas that will help you with tests like the SAT. But geometry proof is never learned outside of school...
Besides being perhaps the most entertaining American comedy since the last Edwards film (S.O.B.), Victor/Victoria adds further proof that, like Toddy in the film, homosexuals are ceasing to be an inconvenience to moviemakers. Already out and doing quite well in the theaters is Making Love, in which a terribly nice fellow (Michael Ontkean) leaves his terribly nice wife (Kate Jackson) to take up with a not-quite-so-nice novelist (Harry Hamlin) before he finds a more stable male mate. Also doing well is Personal Best, which purposely makes no big deal about the fact that its two leading figures...
