...assassination two weeks ago of the country's six leading leftists. Perhaps because courage was the admission price, only about 2,000 people turned out for the leftists' funeral at San Salvador's huge, gray Metropolitan Cathedral. The ceremonies were marked more by anger than sorrow. Shouted the Rev. David Rodriguez, a Salvadoran priest: "We know that in the blood of the martyrs who lie here is the spirit of liberty...
...keep the peace in Lebanon, the Palestinians' main base of operations. According to participants in the negotiation, Assad was blunt with P.L.O. Leader Yasser Arafat. "Is it marriage or divorce?" he asked. Unwilling to risk a break with such an important ally, the P.L.O. sent its regrets with "sorrow."

When the sideshow curtain is flung back, revealing Merrick for the first time, the camera slowly zooms toward Hopkins as his mouth hangs open and his eyes stare unblinking. He suppresses a scream and then a wince as horror replaces terror and sorrow replaces horror on his face. Later, when Treves displays Merrick before the audience of physicians, he must describe, in detail, his physical distortions. Hopkins delivers these lines quickly, his short clipped sentences and detached, analytical tone fighting the emotion that threatens to crack his voice...
