Thatcher wins support for many reasons, including the "Falklands factor," her display of resolve and determination during Britain's war with Argentina. "She did a good job," says Fire Officer John Oakes, 47, from Timperley in Greater Manchester. "It was about time that somebody stood up to the dictators. If we had let the Falklands go, where would it stop?" Oakes doubts that unemployment will drop under Thatcher, but he still plans to vote Tory this time. "The alternatives," he argues, "are so bad that I have no choice." Others are less impressed. Says Labor Supporter Anthony Pearson...
...apparel industry left in this country. Hundreds of thousands of poorly educated Americans could be cut off from the American dream of being able to improve their living standards." But protectionism aimed at Latin America could be particularly dangerous. Two of the biggest apparel exporters, Mexico and Argentina, owe U.S. banks nearly $35 billion. "If we protect our markets against their goods," says Harvard Economics Professor Richard Cooper, "Latin American countries would have an excuse to repudiate their debts." That could trigger a worldwide banking crisis...
...things that were once thought impossible, to rearrange what the Soviets call the correlation of forces, to change the terms of reality, debate and thus ultimately negotiation. Far from excluding negotiations, a primary purpose of these wars was to alter their terms. When Jaruzelski talks to Walesa, Britain to Argentina, and Israel to the Palestinians, as in the long run they must, the grounds will have changed.

...before, the military clearly miscalculated foreign reaction. Most of Argentina's 28 million people are of European ancestry, many of them from Italy, and among the missing are some 400 people of Italian citizenship or descent, 35 Spaniards and 15 French, including two nuns. Italy's President Sandro Pertini took the lead, denouncing the junta's "chilling cynicism." The Vatican was no less outspoken, rejecting the report as incomprehensible and full of "agonizing questions." At his weekly audience, Pope John Paul II declared that "the insistent problem of the disappeared ones has always been...
...Argentina, the report was met with skepticism and anger. The nation's Roman Catholic bishops declared that the first step toward reconciliation should be a willingness by the military to admit its role in the disappearances. Emilio Fermín Mignone, head of the Center for Legal and Social Studies, expressed a widespread fear that until the military considers itself subject to "law and morality," voters can never be sure it will not mistreat them again. While Argentine law courts are clogged with 6,000 suits seeking information on the disappeared, the junta has long sought to avoid...
