...next five days, 20 more Salvadorans died in clashes among the many extremist political factions that have made civil strife a way of life in El Salvador (pop. 4.8 million). On one side are the leftist terrorist groups that seek to provoke a Nicaragua-style insurrection. On the other are the hit teams obedient to the country's ultraconservative elite. Standing helpless in the middle, unable to control either the notoriously brutal 12,000-man security forces or intransigent foes on the left and right, is the civilian-military junta that ousted President Carlos Humberto Romero only last month...

The Palestinian National Covenant of the PLO still calls for "armed struggle (as) the overall strategy" (Art. 9) and the "total liberation of Palestine" (Art. 21). wre these the slogans of an organization which wants peace...
Israel has time and time again expressed her desire for the resolution of the Palestinian problem. To that end they have been and still are meeting with Palestinians to discuss various solutions. They cannot however negotiate with the terrorist PLO, whose bargaining strategy continues to be murdering women and children in market places and schools.Jeremy Benstein Amy Wolfson '82 Harvard-Radcliffe Zionists Alliance
