...toll hit 100 in March, Administration officials claim the long-term trend is downward. "The figures are all guesstimates because there isn't any system of justice left in El Salvador," says Richard Millett, a Central American expert at Southern Illinois University.

Cinderella is not an obvious banner to follow into battle. In one form or another, the ballet dates back at least to 1813, but it has never been a truly popular theme.

Matabeleland is the homeland of the Matabele tribe and of Nkomo, and Mugabe's victory in the nationwide elections moved many of Nkomo's supporters to become rebellious. Nkomo himself was sacked from the Cabinet two years ago, after he was accused of plotting to overthrow the government. The territory is also plagued by armed bandits who kill as well as plunder.
