...Miller and Mark Felt, were charged with conspiring to authorize illegal break-ins to track down members of the radical Weather Underground; former CIA Director Richard Helms and a pair of ITT officials were charged with lying to a Senate subcommittee in 1973 about plotting to overthrow Chilean President Salvador Allende Gossens. But in late 1977 Helms was allowed to plead no contest to watered-down charges that he misled the Senate, and this winter the Justice Department simply dropped charges against the ITT officials. Now it appears that the FBI case is also in danger of aborting. Why? National...

The possibility exists that Venezuala (who cut off Nicaragua's oil shipments during the fighting in the fall) and the pro-Somoza governments of Guatemala and El Salvador could become involved in the conflict...

...largely progressive. Moderates and conservatives predominate in the important delegations from Argentina, Venezuela, Peru and Mexico. The best-known liberation theologian, Peru's Father Gustavo Gutiérrez, will be on hand as adviser to Ecuador's "Red Bishop," Leonidas Proaño Villalba. But El Salvador's Archbishop Romero, a hero to the poor, was not elected by his conservative colleagues and will attend only as a member of a papal commission. The bishops of impoverished Guatemala appointed the head of the Helena Rubinstein branch as one of the non-episcopal delegates, which led Mexico...
