The following is from "The Economist", Oct. 19, describing the situation
in Nicaragua as it was before the October 15 decrees:

] The private businesses that are still allowed to operate mostly
] buy from and sell to government agencies. The identification of
] the Sandinist movement with the state is close: there is a  San-
] dinist army, a Sandinist police force and a Sandinist television
] news program, and "Sandinism" is taught in schools and universi-
] ties.

] The leader of the small Liberal Party, Mr.  Virgilio Godoy, who
] has tried hard to work with the Sandinists and formerly served as
] their labour minister, said recently: ...

] ] People worry that if they do anything, the army will take their
] ] son, or their business will be closed or some import will be con-
] ] fiscated. We cannot get people out of their houses to a  rally
] ] because we cannot give them a guarantee that nothing will happen
] ] to them afterwards.
