...this thriller about Cuba at the time of the 1962 missile crisis, Buckley, the archetypal conservative, presents a Che Guevara who turns out to be a humane and tragic figure; even Fidel Castro, between bouts of egomania, is a | fully developed antagonist. The least satisfactory character, curiously, is Blackford Oakes, a CIA soloist whose IQ seems to be only a couple of digits higher than James Bond...
...Chris' chief antagonist. Peter Weller plays Sam with scary perfection.

While insisting there was no connection, Meese began repayment only after the Washington Post ran a story on the curious transaction. Under grilling by his chief antagonist, Ohio Democrat Howard Metzenbaum, Meese conceded that he had never even asked McKean about the source of the trust funds loaned to him. Meese was satisfied with McKean's integrity, he said, since McKean was the personal accountant for another top White House aide, Michael Deaver. Deaver had borrowed...
