His dome not only has indoor plumbing, but electric lights. Jenefer,* 29, a former schoolteacher, is not so lucky.

(National Liberation Movement) Party are guarded by a force of 60 men, who tote submachine guns and grenades, and the legislature itself sometimes resembles an armed camp. When TIME Correspondent Bernard Diederich visited the legislature in Guatemala City last week, he saw one gun-for-hire character who wore a black cowboy hat, black shirt and black trousers and carried a low-slung...
