During a visit to Washington last week, Fidel Chávez Mena, El Salvador's Foreign Minister, expressed hope that the case will be resolved by late January, when the Administration must once again certify that the embattled country remains eligible for American aid. U.S. embassy officials in San Salvador, however, are not optimistic that the trial will persuade Congress that El Salvador has bettered its human rights record. Members of Congress have their eye on another case in which justice has proved less than speedy: accusations that high-ranking army officers ordered the murder of two U.S. land...
...goire Lemercier's fledgling Benedictine monastery in the Cuernavaca suburbs, where he was impressed with both the pastoral uses of the monks' experimental worship services and the strikingly different religious art that complemented them. The bishop asked the monastery's principal artist, Fray Gabriel Chávez de la Mora, to help him refurbish the city's 400-year-old cathedral.

He yearned for the support of César Chávez, a Bobby Kennedy supporter and leader of California migrant workers who has become a virtual messiah to thousands of Mexican Americans. The Senator did in fact have long talks with Chávez. But he could not bring himself to ask for the labor leader's help. He only observed mildly that...
...Washington in nine "caravans" that will include vehicles as disparate as Greyhound buses and 325 mule-drawn wagons. Though the majority of the marchers will be black, there will also be American Indians, Appalachian whites and Mexican-Americans led by California's César Chávez, who organized the successful Delano farmworkers' strikes, and New Mexico's Reies Tijerina, whose abortive attempt to "reclaim" land last year made him a latter-day conquistador in Spanish-American eyes...
