Bomb Blasts. At least two nations oppose the lifting of sanctions. Chile has complained that Cuba flew arms to the late Marxist President Salvador Allende before he was overthrown. Uruguay insists that Castro still underwrites the Tupamaro guerrilla movement. Bolivia, whose military government last week put down an army revolt, and Paraguay may also vote no on the grounds that they are subject to Castroite subversion. Almost as if to underscore such claims, bomb blasts rocked both the Bolivian embassy and the Brazilian Cultural Institute in Quito before the conference...

Yves Montand, star of Z, takes on the new role of villain in this movie...
...political activists, particularly on the Left, to take the SLA's example seriously. It is imperative that activists examine the SLA's experience in order to arrive at a better understanding of the moral, as well as the tactical ramifications of violent political programs whether at home or in Uruguay, Israel, or Ireland. The Left needs to formulate a coherent moral vision and to maintain a vigorous moral debate not only to avoid unnecessarily alienating the majority of the American public, but also as a basis for the design of constructive tactics. The editors of Ramparts wrote...
