Uh...how's this Eduardo-Ortega is shopping for money because the Reaganistas
have been muscling the international lending institutions to turn down any
loans to the Nicaraguans. Where else they gonna go for a loan?

And besides-suppose you're a good Russkie (heaven forbid) who sees a chance
to encourage a mixed-market economy to head a little more in your direction
by sending a little "aid" (yeah, I know. Funny looking aid, huh? We do it too.)
It would sound like a good deal to me.

My new theory is that we should all start spelling Contadora as CONTadoRA
(after some of us learn to spell it correctly). Perhaps the powers that be
will be thinking that the little portmanteau sneaker 'looks' like it deserves
the same kind of dogged support as the moral equivalent of our founding fathers.

How about it?
