In El Salvador ahead of nationwide elections ARENA supporters wage a street campaign while critics warn of renewed violence. Voters elect 84 congressional seats and 262 mayoral posts as a fragile peace hangs over a country scarred by civil war and a spike in crime. The Front led by former guerrillas seeks gains, possibly the mayoralty of San Salvador, while ARENA leaders accuse the Front of wartime killings.

NATO seeks to mollify Russia over eastward expansion
NATO says it does not plan to base large numbers of foreign combat troops in former Warsaw Pact states joining the alliance. The move aims to ease Moscow's fears amid an upcoming Madrid summit to invite applicants such as Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary, with possible entry by 1999. NATO also assures no plans for nuclear bases on new members and discusses a revised conventional forces treaty in Vienna.
