...haunts El Salvador, much of it attributed to the government's own security forces. But he faces a tough challenge from ultrarightist candidates in the six-party contest. Major Roberto d'Aubuisson, a former Salvadoran national guard intelligence officer and a fierce extremist, has been campaigning aggressively on an unleash-the-army-and-crush-the-Communists platform, and has been gaining momentum. A victory by a coalition of D'Aubuisson's National Republican Alliance with the conservative National Reconciliation Party, the traditional vehicle of the oligarchy, would be a disaster for Washington's policy, which is aimed at shoring...
There is little way to stop the plant's operation now--a final appeal will be heard sometime this year but will almost certainly bring no change. So the coalition is understandably depleted. But even the slightest indication that health hazards are likely would unleash louder community furor than ever. The area would again be the courtroom, but the coalition would be fighting for lives, not maneuvering for delays. Suggestions of health dangers would also probably call to action the many national and international health groups with which NOMATEP has always been loosely connected, but which never lent it tangible...
...Chomsky has released a collection of provocative essays that seems likely to unleash the critics once more.

Instead of seeing the immorality of propping up the dictatorial shah, Americans learned only that we should "overcome our reticence, develop more destructive strategic weapons, deploy forces prepared for rapid intervention throughout the world, 'unleash' the CIA, and otherwise demonstrate our pugnacity." He sums...
...which?amazingly?he invited me to visit Egypt for talks "within the framework of two principles?that Egypt cannot make any concessions of land or sovereignty." There could be no doubt that Ismail was speaking in Sadat's name. Sadat could have used the airlift as a pretext to unleash the mobs in the Arab world against us, as Nasser had done with far less provocation in 1967. But Sadat was willing to forgo posturing for attainable progress. He had taken the measure of Soviet support: always enough to keep tensions high, never enough to bring about a settlement...
