...Lieut. Commander Ernest A. Munro, 40, chief of the mission's naval section, took the full force of the fusillade and died almost instantly as the car came squealing to a halt. The four Americans were casualties in a fresh outburst of lethal feuding between left-and right-wing Guatemalan extremists that has claimed more than 25 lives in the past month...
Looking for Blood. In response, clandestine bands of rightist terrorists went looking for blood. One night they carried off a 26-year-old former beauty queen who was proud of her left-wing sympathies, raped her and beat her to death with rifle butts. Vowing to avenge her murder, leftist terrorists drove up to the home of a Guatemalan army colonel early last week and machine-gunned one of his guards.

...Star's laissez-faire attitude toward reporters has its drawbacks.

Only a few watched his skates slip out from under him as he toppled backward. His head hit the ice, and blood gushed...
This division was reflected at the Jerusalem conference, which was bitterly opposed by a minority of right-wing Orthodox Jews who foresaw it as an at tempt to water down Halaka. Israel's chief rabbis, who endorsed the conference, even received threatening messages-forcing the sessions to be held under police guard. While firmly denying any intention of diluting the law, conference leaders insisted on the need for further enhancing Orthodoxy's appeal to all Jewry. At the session's end, the delegates created a permanent committee to coordinate further Orthodox efforts to make tradition compatible with...
