Speaker. all too often we get a onesided view on what Is happening along the NicaraguanHonduran border: the Sandinist rulers of Nicaragua are seen as the innocent victims of unwarranted aggression. The aggression is generally attributed to the United States. and little is mentioned of antiSandinlst Nicaraguans. except to label them as followers of the late strongman Samoza. which is not strictly true. Little mention is made of the people caught between the conflicting sides. nor of the Nicaraguan refugees pouring into Honduras. One of the very few objective reports that I have read was in Mondays Christian Science Monitor by Daniel Southerland. I am inserting that article in the RECORD for the benefit of my colleagues who automatically give the Sandinistas the benefit of the doubt if not excusing them outright.
