...military might is fundamental to the foreign policy that Reagan and Haig are shaping. Some other fundamental principles: the U.S. must forge closer relations with its allies; in particular, it must persuade the NATO countries to cooperate with it in countering Soviet threats outside Europe. It must support friendly anti-Communist governments throughout the world, instead of publicly nagging them to observe U.S. standards of human rights...
...regimes in violation of human rights, but a Chile, El Salvador is not.

...Soviet Union, where he joined the exiled First Polish Army as an infantry officer. He fought in its ranks in Poland and Germany until the end of the war, then took part in what his official biographer calls the "struggle against armed underground bands"-meaning the Polish anti-Communist resistance movement. After advanced infantry training and general staff college, Jaruzelski's rise was meteoric. By 1957, he commanded the 12th Motorized Division; in 1960 he was named the army's chief political commissar; in 1968 he became Poland's youngest general...
