By the end of the 1970s there was a possibility of political advance throughout Central America. El Salvador, an economic and ecological nightmare detained in its present agony by U.S. aid, recently ratified again by bipartisan consensus; Honduras and Costa Rica, descending into the abyss from their varying altitudes of economic wellbeing, rapidly in the former instance, more decorously in the latter; Guatemala, as depraved a tyranny as ever behind the fig leaf of Cerezo's regime and its criers such as Paul Reichler in Washington; Nicaragua, bled dry after six years of war and shattered by the hurricane.
