Bill : you are absolutely right; I knew, and should have remembered.
But my interest in Nicaragua intensified much later.
By now, I believe their agreement with the USSR in UN votes
is about, or exactly, 100% .
By comparison, El Salvador (called by some a puppet regime)
votes with US about 20% of the time (the last I looked : it was
down from 30% before).
(Bother: why do all my sentences begin with B ?)
