Abstract

The Press, Volume 22, Issue 10 includes: Amid increasing American efforts at destabilization, the Consul-General of Nicaragua, Pastor Valle-Garay, paid a visit to Brock University. This comes six years after the 17-year-old totalitarian dictatorship of the Somoza family ended in Nicaragua; Beverly Hadland, an anti-abortion supporter, spoke at Brock on the previous Thursday; An experiment at Concordia University showed that cocaine was deadlier than heroin; Nicaraguan leaders accused of imposing a new totalitarian regime on its people through the imposition of a State of Emergency and suspension of civil liberties. Regan and his White House have been using these claims to back their destabilization efforts. Left and right fight over the need for these repressions.
