...more than incidents in a larger East-West conflict. Last week, one official in Washington aid that troubles in Latin America came from "leftists, communists, and other subversives." this off-repeated White House line obscures a striking reality about Latin America: The economic chaos Reagan will find during his trop sums up the recent history of El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala as well. But in those countries, the resulting economic, social and political inequities--not a bunch of revolutionary communists--led to upheaval.

Saint-Trop has nearly as many candlelit cellar clubs as the Left Bank, and the vogue has spread along the coast as far as Nice, where the Gorilla Club boasts of stereophonic sound.
