...memories were sometimes hard to still. In Paracuellos de Jarama, a small pueblo on the outskirts of Madrid that gained infamy during the civil war when Republican forces shot hundreds of Nationalist prisoners there, the local voting monitor politely ushered a trooper of the still feared Civil Guard out of the schoolroom polling station. "He has a gun, and he does not belong here," said one of the party observers behind...

In 1968-the year the U.S. warship Pueblo was seized by North Korea while on a reconnaissance mission-there were 760 incidents in the DMZ, including 356 outbreaks of shooting, with a total of 500 deaths on both sides. In the past 2½ years, however, the zone has been relatively quiet. Until last week, there had been no American deaths since November 1974. In the interim, the most serious injury was suffered by Major Darryl Henderson...
