Falklands clash grows as British push inland
British forces press from a 10 square mile beachhead at Port San Carlos on East Falkland with 5,000 troops and armor advancing across the island. Argentine sources admit they have not halted the British and report heavy casualties on their side while Britain claims rapid consolidation of the beachhead. The UN calls for a cease fire as U.S. embassy staff evacuate non essentials from Buenos Aires to Montevideo.
