...courageous leadership in governmental, civic and humanitarian affairs." In contrast to the friendly demonstrations that had greeted the President in Oklahoma only the week before, thousands of outraged protesters outside the New York Hilton Hotel broke into chants of "Money for jobs, not for war, U.S. out of El Salvador!" Ten blocks away, at the Lincoln Center campus of Fordham University, 300 people, including a few members of the N.C.C.J. who opposed honoring Reagan for humanitarianism, had earlier gathered for an "alternative awards dinner" featuring a mocking menu of cheese (which the Administration is distributing to the poor from Government...
...sudden, a flurry of diplomatic activity made it appear as though everyone was willing, even anxious, to sit down and discuss the complex crises in Central America.

"Aggressive and destabilizing actions against Nicaragua by the U.S. Administration have been dramatically on the rise," Ortega insisted...

The U.S. has consistently opposed negotiations that would require the government to give up at the bargaining table what the insurgents have not been able to win on the battlefield or at the polls. Indeed, "negotiated settlement" has become something of a loaded code phrase to describe the approach embraced by the French, as well as some members of the U.S. Congress, that would force the Salvadoran government to share power with leftists.
