Their attacks are, however, a far cry from the kidnapings and bomb-throwings that nearly panicked the country last year. One reason: the guerrillas have lacked a leader since Luis Turcios Lima died at 24 in an auto accident last October.

Lately, a steady tide of visitors has disobeyed the sign and trespassed on the austere hospitality of his house, which offers only a few folding chairs to guests. Israel counts Agnon a cultural hero, studies his work in its schools, and has given him a hero's place since he returned from Stockholm last December with...
