To persuade thinking persons in Eastern Europe that Central American Marxists - the Sandinistas, the guerillas in El Salvador - are in absurd and tragic error is not difficult.

Sadly, however, illusion is often sweeter to human taste than reality. The last marxist in the world will probably be an American nun.
