Some Nicaraguans, however, remained preoccupied with the fate of Hasenfus. People who lingered outside the sweltering courtroom during the trial demonstrated surprising sympathy for the somber American and his shy wife Sally. Sandinista officials also showed concern. "Eugene Hasenfus is not responsible for the American policy," said a high-ranking Sandinista. "It is in our interest to concentrate more on issues and less on the individual.

He also rather clumsily linked the dangers of atomic power with the threat of nuclear weapons, noting that "inherent in the nuclear arsenals stockpiled are thousands upon thousands of disasters far more horrible than the Chernobyl one." Gorbachev then disingenuously invited President Reagan to meet in Europe "or, say, in Hiroshima" to negotiate a test moratorium. He pointedly extended the Soviet Union's own ten-month test...
