Salvadoran soldiers face attrition amid low pay and risk
U S defense data show only 15 percent of Salvadoran troops trained by the United States remain in the army after two years, with nearly half of last year’s recruits gone. Officers show similar losses as 500 cadets at Ft Benning only half stay active. 100 Green Berets arrived to begin a new training round as the war continues.

Adventurer Bird Rescued After Pacific Row Ends Near Australia
British adventurer Peter Bird, after 10 months and 9,000 miles rowing the Pacific, was rescued by Australian navy patrol boat Bendigo near the Great Barrier Reef. His 33-foot Heleon Britannia sank while under tow to Cairns, logging records and film as the crew saved his life and logs. Bird, 36, said he felt safe and grateful, though he did not reach the Australian mainland. The Guinness Book editor praised the voyage as a great success despite not completing the crossing.
