MISURA represents the Miskito, Sumo and Rama Indians of Nicaragua's Atlantic coast. The coalition and a second Indian faction, known as MISURASATA, have opposed efforts by the Sandinistas to turn communal Indian property into state holdings and to relocate entire villages. Says MISURA Leader Steadman Fagoth Mullen "We want to be left alone."

Suspecting growing separatist sentiments among them, Sandinista forces last year arrested 33 Indian leaders, and shortly thereafter four government soldiers and four Miskitos were killed during a Shootout at a Moravian church in Prinzapolka.

Other magazines have known how to deal with people of Agnew's ilk. Rolling Stone, for instance, accompanying Hunter Thompson's 1974 Watergate opus, "The Scum Also Rises," ran a Ralph Steadman cartoon depicting former Attorney-General John "this country is moving so far to the right you won't recognize it" Mitchell as a used condom in mid air, about to splash down. It could just as well have been Spiro; after all, he has as much credence as a year-old Samoa, you know, the kind that comes in five tropical colors. Agnew's been spouting...
