There are almost too many imponderables to contemplate. Washington continues to hope that Duarte's centrist coalition will consolidate its power in El Salvador's elections, carry on efforts at domestic reform and eventually bring responsible left-wing elements into the political mainstream. The Administration is now simply more willing to talk about talking-and to use the hitherto forbidden word negotiation-although at week's end the State Department was discomfited by what it called Mexico's "premature" announcement of a U.S.-Nicaraguan parley in April.
