McCandless used the so- called manned maneuvering unit as he moved away from the Shuttle Challenger during the eight-day space mission.

Lebanon was torn by civil war and foreign invasion. In 1984, when the ma- rines left, more than 260 marines were dead, and Lebanon was still at war with most of its territory occupied by foreign troops and its government was tottering. The price of President Reagan ' s com- mitment was too high and the ma- rines left Beirut. There was a feel- ing of dissension among the American people who felt Reagan shouldn ' t have involved our armed forces into the numerous disputes in the Middle East, but Reagan stood strong on keeping troops posted throughout the re- gion. El Salvadorians elect president In June, the most free and open elections in fifty years were held in El Salvador, and civilian Jose Napoleon Duarte became president of a shaky nation that has been in a civil war for five years, and in which 50,000 civilians have been killed. Four months later, on October 15, the populist presi- dent met with marxist FMLN rebels for a five and a half hour turning point peace meeting in LaPalma. The photo shows a government soldier reading a newspaper at the Rio Lempa checkpoint near El Salvador. The headline reads, There is Faith in the Electoral Process. o z m Z H O Z m Z Inrernorionol 4j Z H IVNOI1VNU31NI l NOIl NH31NI 1VNOI1VNH31NI 1VNOI1VNH3
