Finally permitted by U.S. military authorities to roam freely on Grenada, newsmen found that even some of the island's ardent leftists were enthusiastic about the American intervention. Former Prime Minister Maurice Bishop had been their hero, and when he was placed under house arrest by extremists led by Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard and then executed by a Military Revolutionary Army Council headed by General Hudson Austin, the earlier revolutionaries lost their zeal. Said Lloyd Noel, a former Attorney General under Bishop who had been imprisoned after breaking with Bishop's party: "The Americans should feel free...
...boys and girls have brutally unromantic relationships. On a sunny day, they gather on the beach. The guys display their masculinity by exploiting the surf with their surfboards, while their passive chicks annoint their scantly clad physiques with suntan lotion and watch their mates. At night, they either roam the streets in search of action, or they party wildly at someone's house. Unlike Frankie, Annette and their chums who would sit around a campfire and sing sweetly, these teenagers enjoy themselves by drinking, getting high and having...
...land for the Salvadorans. Ramirez says U.S. Army personnel have twice opened valves to his water lines, causing his meat-packing plant to remain idle for two days because of inadequate water pressure.

Under the President's moralizing eye, corruption has all but dried up. Government-sanctioned death squads that used to roam the streets of Guatemala City have almost disappeared. Most important, Ríos Montt appears to have succeeded, at least temporarily, where the government of neighboring El Salvador has failed: in winning a war against a powerful Marxist insurgency involving an estimated 4,000 guerrillas and their supporters...
...director, Zeffirelli understands both genres. In Soprano Teresa Stratas (Violetta) and Tenor Placido Domingo (Alfredo), he has chosen two exceptionally convincing singing actors. But film also demands motion, sweep and scope, so at intense moments the camera breaks free of its traditional front-row-center moorings and begins to roam. As counterpoint to Alfredo's second-act aria, in which he ardently-if prematurely-credits Violetta's love with taming his fiery spirit, there is a gentle pastorale of lovers picnicking on the grass and gamboling by a stream. Later, a spurned Domingo angrily drags Stratas down...
