I just read in the "Chicago Tribune" for November 11th that Sir Scoon has just outlawed public gatherings except for church or business. He has also authorized arrests without warrants & will censor the press. Until now, I've been in favor of the invasion to clear the Cubanos out, although the fear of backlash has been nagging at me (I *like* the Carribean and want to spend more time there without having people being hostile toward US citizens.). Somebody reassure me that this gentleman is NOT planning on installing himself as king. Wasn't the invasion supposed to clear out the dictatorial types? Jeff "What have I missed in the papers?"

In this issue (Vol 8, No 2), they go over the documents that were captured and analyze the weapons that were requested. Someone from the Center for Defense Information aided them in a rather well planned article. Additionally, they have futher reports on the current state of affairs in Grenada, including the instiution of Martial Law (i.e. curfew, etc). They also go over the ties between Grenada and the U.S.S.R. and the Cubans. Their summary: If Grenada was less of a Soviet puppet than Hondures or Costa Rica are puppets of the U.S.A. Go to your library and look at a variety of magizines. I myself usually try to read Atlas (or is it now called World Press Review?), ITT, the Times, U.S. News + World Reports and whatever else drifts my way.
