		WITH ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION, it would be absurd to suspect that a president had acted against national security interests and perverted the course of justice to help his wife get out of the house and into the Senate.
		But this campaign was hampered by the awkward fact that none of the prisoners ever showed the slightest interest in expressing regret for the murders and maimings committed by FALN or in renouncing future acts of terror.

	Pompeyo Marquez' reading of history central to peaceful opposition march

		During the speech, Marquez recalls that when he was Senator and Congress was discussing the Armed Force (FAN) law, it had been put on hold for 6 years because they didn't want the National Guard (GN) to be the fourth force, despite pleas from GN officers.
		Saturday's (March 7) opposition march to protest government heavy-handiness and National Guard (GN) repression during last week's disturbances went off peacefully with opposition print and broadcast media observing a discreet silence on march numbers, preferring to highlight instead the usual defiant speeches from Coordinadora Democratica leaders.
