«Officials of the new civilian Government installed during the American invasion say that textbooks read by Panamanian schoolchildren are now being revised and will soon lump together the Torrijos and Noriega eras as 21 years of military dictatorship. Three months after the invasion, the new Government of President Guillermo Endara has already taken a number of other steps aimed at doing away with the hero’s status General Torrijos has enjoyed since his death.
