...appears to be in trouble, and government forces are taking high casualties. In the tiny capital of San Francisco Gotera (pop. 5,000), for instance, clattering helicopters regularly emerge from the dark rainy-season skies to bring in the wounded. Most of them land just outside of town and transfer their passengers to planes headed south, but some head for the main square in front of the village church, and from there the more seriously wounded-as many as 15 to 20 a day-are taken for emergency treatment to the town's civilian hospital.

For years the Cadillac name has equated luxury with size, and buyers have spent $20,000 or more for opulent, lengthy Fleetwoods and Eldorados. The Cimarron represents a bold attempt to transfer that 78-year-old image to a car that is 4 ft. shorter than the now standard Cadillac and nearly the same size as a Toyota Celica. The mini-Caddie will carry the expected gewgaws and gimcracks, including electric remote-controlled side-view mirrors, an array of interior lamps and leather upholstery. But it will also have...
