- DIED. Roberto d'Aubuisson, 48, ultra-rightist strongman
- linked to death squads during El Salvador's 12-year civil war; of
- throat cancer; in San Salvador. As founder of the Nationalist
- Republican Alliance, or ARENA, D'Aubuisson emerged as a hero to
- wealthy landowners resisting demands for land redistribution and
- political reforms. His large legion of foes, however, viewed his
- machismo and ruthlessness as a significant cause of his
- country's violence, which cost 75,000 lives.
