Can Duarte Last Two More Years?
Cooper, Marc | May 24, 1986 issue

The article focuses on the U.S. policy in El Salvador. While Congress chooses up sides for the coining battle over aid to the Nicaraguan contras, Democrats are still vying with Republicans to claim political paternity of El Salvador President José Napoleón Duarte's government. Washington has succumbed to the dangerous myth that with Duarte wearing the presidential sash, El Salvador's future is settled. A look at Congress's votes on aid to El Salvador confirms that Duarte's charm still retains its hypnotic quality on Capitol Hill, Washington D.C.
