Leninakan City After Earthquake Becomes Mud and Memory
A year after the 7.1 quake in Armenia, Leninakan sits as a shantytown of mud and memories. Garapetyans boil clothes on a wood stove in a makeshift cabin while rain erodes a former apartment wall. Relief efforts struggle as 20,000 remain missing and daily life centers on relatives and scarce power.

Sandinistas Poised To Battle Contras Near Border
Washington reports of increased Sandinista troop concentrations near the Honduran border camps of the Contras. Officials say a knockout blow against the insurgents could be attempted. Intelligence indicates Sandinistas will receive four Soviet helicopters in two weeks. The shipment reportedly left the Soviet Union by ship before the Mediterranean summit. Redeployment began in late October after Ortega canceled a 19 month cease-fire. No reliable troop numbers available.
