Contra attacks push Ortega to stop cease-fire
The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The Nicaraguan contrasts, weakened by a Central American peace agreement and reduced U.S. aid, may have lost their military and political momentum but not their determination to overthrow Daniel Ortega's Sandinista government.
Ortega's plan to break off a ceasefire with the contras disrupted Costa Rica's celebration of 100 years of democracy and led President Bush to hint Saturday about the possibility of renewing U.S. military aid for the rebels.
President Bush belittled the leftist Nicaraguan leader as "this little man — showing up in his military uniform at a democracy meeting," and said

"It doesn't look too bad. We've had 40 or 50 companies come to interview this fall, and we expect 60 to 70 to come in the spring," he said. "Unless something drastic happens, I expect there to be a big job market in the spring, as well."
Henry said that all majors were in demand but that an ability to communicate well was the most important quality employers were looking for.
"The employers look beyond majors. They're looking for people with communication skills." he said.
