...look of disgust when he was picked out at the crowded defense tables and identified as the American distributor for the imported heroin. More such fingering is expected as Buscetta continues to testify in a complex trial that could last as long as six months. Defense attorneys will assail Buscetta's credibility, and are expected to charge that he is singing in an effort to avoid prosecution for Mob murders in Sicily. But to date, Buscetta has provided the most revealing glimpse into the Mafia since ( American Mobster Joseph Valachi first outlined the structure and the secret name...
Unlike American attacks on the press, which tend to come from the right and assail reporters as too skeptical toward government, Pravda lambastes London's journalists from the left, as tame toadies of deceitful politicians.

...Long report, following a similarly critical assessment of the Lebanon involvement by a House subcommittee, undoubtedly increases the pressure on the Administration to redeploy or withdraw the Marines. If it does not do so, the Democratic presidential candidates are likely to use the report to assail Reagan's policy on Lebanon. If there are further casualties, the report will serve as a detailed reminder that the military has serious qualms about the role it has been asked to play in Lebanon...
