...future, as he always had. At one time, a partial list of projects included two full-length historical films. One would concern Tories vs. Loyalists, the other the age of revolution. Both would be "mystical," "Virgilian" epics of a "prenatal nation." These were in addition to an "antiCommunist manifesto," a "new form of movie short roughly equivalent to the lyric poem," and some "pieces of writing whose rough parallel is the prophetic writing of the Bible...
...Hiss, Edward Herrmann (who played F.D.R. in Eleanor and Franklin) is the quintessence of Ivy League aplomb, but with a hint of arrogance and evasiveness. John Harkins, a close physical match for Chambers, is eerily effective as the tormented ex-Communist turned passionate antiCommunist. As Nixon, who built his political career on his role in the Hiss case, Peter Riegert (who starred in the film Local Hero) maintains a steady scowl but avoids facile parody...
...consent Casey has improved their quality too. Among other things, he has reorganized the agency's intelligence analysts, once grouped by specialty, along regional lines. Economists and political specialists, for example, now collaborate in a single report on a specific area. Casey's policy views are vehemently antiCommunist, a factor that insiders say has also raised agency morale. But by all accounts Casey has kept his advocacy separate from the scrupulously straight analyses he presents to his Administration colleagues...
...missiles, East German Leader Erich Honecker spoke of the need to "minimize the damages" to East-West relations. Since then, he has welcomed Kohl to East Germany, conferred with opposition Social Democratic Leader Hans-Jochen Vogel and negotiated trade credits with Bavarian Leader Franz Josef Strauss, a staunch antiCommunist. Later this year, in his first official visit to West Germany, Honecker will make a nostalgic trip to his home town of Wiebelskirchen. Most auspiciously, perhaps, East Germany has allowed more than 19,000 of its citizens to emigrate to the West since the beginning of the year...
...facto strongman of Honduras, pulling both military and political strings behind the folksy, conservative Suazo. The charge was one that Alvarez took no great pains to deny. A colonel when he took over as armed forces chief, he arranged his own series of promotions to five-star general. Fiercely antiCommunist, he launched a harsh antiterrorist campaign and enthusiastically backed the Reagan Administration in creating a regional military training center in Honduras. There, some 100 Green Berets are now training as many as 1,000 Salvadoran troops for their war against the F.M.L.N. While negotiating the training-center deal with Washington...
