...guerrillas also claim to be following a policy of electoral noninterference, but for different reasons. In 1982 they suffered a major propaganda defeat when Salvadorans braved the guerrillas' campaign of intimidation and turned out to vote; guerrilla leaders have vowed not to repeat that mistake. Instead, they have apparently launched a spate of assassinations that have claimed the lives of at least four prominent conservative and right-wing leaders during the campaign. Among last week's targets were Héctor Julio Flores Larin, a P.C.N. representative in the Constituent Assembly, and Tito Adalberto Rosa, a campaign coordinator...
...mullahs are so sure of their control that they have, here and there, relaxed their stranglehold over cultural life.

In 1982, Radzinsky had joined with a dozen other young Soviet intellectuals and founded the country's only independent peace organization. Besides seeking to exchange ideas with like-minded Americans, the defendant reportedly had been teaching the works of banned authors like Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The sentence: one year in prison and five of internal exile. The trial went virtually unnoticed by Soviet youth...
...also offers a convenient scapegoat for the faults and failures of the Khomeini regime. The drastic deterioration in the economic conditions of life that has resulted from the reactionary policies of the regime are attributed to the war. Likewise, Khomeini's immense propaganda machine attributes the lack of political freedom, the atmosphere of terror and the ruthless suppressive measures that enforce the regime's hold on power to emergency conditions supposedly created...
