...police claim that Soto, a high school student who had no police record, and Rosado, who had been charged earlier with illegal possession of firearms, belonged to the Movimiento Armado Revolucionario, a tiny radical cell with no ties to the mainstream political parties. One of the group's five members, Alejandro González Malavé, 21, was an undercover agent for the police. He and the two youths stopped a cab on the outskirts of Ponce last July 25. At gunpoint they forced the driver, Julio Ortiz Molina, to take them up a remote mountain road...
...fight against terrorism is far from over. Since the coup, 1,700 leftist guerrillas and 124 soldiers and police have died in what the military calls "the dirty war."

...Portillo, 56, who was Finance Minister in the present government and the personal choice of President Luis Echeverria Alvarez to succeed him. Because Mexican law limits a President to one six-year term, the incumbent customarily chooses the next standard bearer of the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (P.R.I.), which has dominated Mexican politics since 1929. Moreover, the failure of the tiny Partido de Accion Nacional (P.A.N.) to agree on a candidate left Lopez Portillo without even token opposition...
