Redman also detailed the debate over the CIA'S role in Central America. The story even spread into a Washington federal courtroom, where Justice Department Correspondent David Jackson reported on an American businessman who is suing the U.S. for occupying part of his Honduran ranch in order to train Salvadoran soldiers.

In her pink nightie and with her eggs Benedict cooling in front of her, Miss Universe describes her plans for the future (assisted by the estimated $150,000 in cash and prizes): "I want to travel throughout the world and spread peace among different countries."
