Lopez said the recent discovery of arms shipments to Nicaragua from the Ihopango Military Air Base in San Salvador did not surprise him.
"It's not true that the Communists are backing most of the guerrillas, either." he said.
"Huge military flight fly out of that airport all the time," he said. "North American soldiers are seen walking around in San Salvador all the time. Nobody really knows why they are there."
"The misconception is that Duarte represents a democracy in El Salvador, and that's not true," Lopez said.
Llopez said that since 1981 the United States had sent more than $2 billion worth of military aid to Duarte's government forces.
Lopez said Duarte's forces had relocated more than one million people to refuge camps and then declared that whoever remained in the evacuated areas was a guerilla and would be killed.

because he had nearly normal vision until about six years ago.

"I know the basic layout of things and I can remember what cars and buildings look like," he said. "I also have the advantage of knowing the beauty of the sunset, flowers, and even insects — I know what a gnat looks like; I can describe even the smallest insect."
Trig, York Pa., graduate student, moved to Lawrence in August and is working toward a doctorate in counseling psychology. Trig, 30, lost his vision when he was 23. Before he went blind, he taught high school social studies and psychology in Pennsylvania.
Another blind student, Joe Trig, said he had been indented when he
Trig came to Lawrence a few days before classes with his parents, who helped him find his way around campus, he said.
His parents left after a few days, but Trig still has a companion and guide — Tristan, a one-year-old black Labrador Retriever who doubles as a seeing-eye dog.
"The only problem with the dog, is that more people notice the dog than notice me," he said. "If I walk into a restaurant with Tristan, people say, 'Oh look, there's a seeing-eye dog,' — they don't even notice me."
He said the converse was true when he used a cane. "When I had the cane, people would say, 'Oh, look, there a blind person.'"
"A dog is much faster," Trig said. "A dog gives you a lot more independence and a lot more dignity -- you don't have to tap along the sidewalk when you have a dog."
Blind people have the responsibility to look as competent as possible in order to avoid becoming dependent upon sighted people, he said.
He said that since the dog helped him to look competent, fewer people stopped to offer unnecessary help than when he used a cane.
Unlike Turner, who said he preferred a cane, Trig said he liked having a guide dog.
Tristan is Trig's first seeing-eye dog, and he has owned him for only about six months.
charge to blind students, read and tape record assigned readings and class notes and take dictations from blind students during exams.
She said blind students solved the problem of taking notes by asking the professor to say everything written on the blackboard out loud and by asking another student in the class to make a duplicate copy of his or her notes.
The center doesn't provide readers for non-academic reading, Michel said. But it does provide students with the names of private and volunteer readers.

"Both professors and students have been very cooperative in helping out," Michel said.
Help
Some visually impaired students don't use the center's services but prefer to hire their own readers, she said.
Tape recording lectures is another option, but most students prefer to have notes because listening to the entire lecture again takes too much time, she said.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — A lawyer for Eugene Hasenfus, the U.S. flier charged with terrorism for supplying arms to U.S.-backed rebels, entered a not guilty plea yesterday and challenged the right of a People's Tribunal to try his client.
Hasenfus' lawyer calls court illegal
United Press International
Enrique Sotole Borgen took the opportunity of filing the plea to lambast the People's Tribunal. He denied the charges against his brother, Alejandro del Pinto, dimenta court trying Hasentus was incompetent, illegal and partial.
"I deny, reject and contradict the accusations presented against him," Sotelo said in a statement filed in court yesterday. "My lawyer is not a criminal but a worker for a legally formed air company."
he parachuted from a cargo plane carrying weapons to the rebels, known as contras, is charged with terrorism, criminal association and violation of Nicaragua's public security and order laws.
An aide to Sotelo, Luas Andara
Ubeda, read the defense statement
to a courtroom packed with
witnesses. Hasenus was not
present.
He faces Nicaragua's maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, and his conviction is considered inevitable.
Hasenfus, captured Oct. 6 after
In brief comments to reporters after he filed the papers, Sotelo demanded an appropriate court be appointed to try Hasenus other than the People's Tribunal, which is controlled by the Sandinista Party.
Sotelo did not deny that Hasenfus had made the rebel supply flights.
