...states are "furious with me," acknowledges Moreno-Ocampo, alluding to criticism that the international court's indictment will damage the pursuit of a peace agreement in the country. "But we're creating a global community based...
...expedite a loan package for the roughly $6 billion that the country needs to continue servicing its foreign debt. Though a rescue loan now seems likely, the conditions set by financiers will probably be tough. Commercial banks have refused to bail Mexico out until it has reached an agreement with the International Monetary Fund. And the IMF will not help until the country has slashed its domestic budget and reduced an inflation rate that may exceed 90% this year.

Reagan has announced plans to jettison the limits on offensive weapons in the unratified 1979 SALT II agreement unless the Soviets are more forthcoming on new arms-control initiatives, and last week he awkwardly tried to explain what this posture really means.

Union Negotiator James McGeehan, who is seeking wage increases of about 4% and lifelong job security, replies, ''We also need a competitive agreement. Our members cannot take their jobs and run.'' Too many, however, have had little choice. In 1983, on the eve of the last negotiations at U.S. Steel, there were more than 1 million American steelworkers. Today there are fewer than 700,000, and employment is projected to fall about 15% further...
