Death In Nicaragua

Contra terrorism, designed and paid for by this country, killed Benjamin Linder, a young engineer living in Nicaragua ((WORLD, May 11)). Linder was working on a much needed rural electrification project. He chose to help rather than exploit his neighbors to the south. That, unfortunately, made him a "Communist" in the eyes of the contras, and they murdered him.
