...their well-conceived plot. Too often their characters approach cliche, the writing is choppy, and when they reach for poetry, they come up with doggerel. They're at their worst when they describe the women characters in the story-all stereotypes. There is Tessa Torrance, national sex symbol turned terrorist sympathizer; Julie Cummings, the young woman on the move who takes Capitol Hill by storm; Nguyen Canh Lani, the NLF supporter devoted more to her cause than her men; and Astrid Renard, the voracious nymphomaniac. They all enjoy sex. They are all beautiful. Clearly, this bipolar world...
...nickname. Some of the Warhawks then used their weapons to rob and terrorize other refugees. According to Thomas Grauman, a former social worker at the camp, "the toughest, meanest men" joined the force, which later changed its name to the Águilas (Spanish for eagles) but not its terrorist tactics.

Affatigato had already been wanted in connection with the jail break of Terrorist Organizer Mario Tuti two years ago. Nevertheless, Italian police said that Affatigato's possible involvement in Bologna was far from certain. Cautioned Chief Investigator Luigi Persico: "Right now it's still a process of eliminating one false lead after another until we find out what happened...
...revolt among both students and the disfranchised peasants; on the other, it prompted panic-stricken oligarchs, determined to retain historic power, to harden then-resistance to change. Ironically, while Nicaragua itself has been able to make considerable headway in consolidating its revolution-peacefully, thus far -a spiral of terrorist violence has escalated elsewhere. Lawless gunmen of both the left and right have brought El Salvador and Guatemala to the brink of civil war with an orgy of killings...
