Leader of the fight for continued commonwealth ties is Luis Munoz Marin, 69, a near-legendary figure among the island's ibaros (peasants). The country's first elected Governor (1948), Munoz retired three years ago in favor of his protégé, Roberto Sanchez Vilella, but has remained a powerful force in favor of the commonwealth. When Governor Sanchez doomed his political career last March by spurning his wife of 31 years in favor of a comely aide, Muñoz took over the Popular Democratic Party's drive to retain common wealth status.
