...hero, on a tour of the U.S. and Britain. Molden, who helped hire Waldheim for the Austrian Foreign Ministry after the war but insists that he is not a close friend, said he undertook the mission for Austria's sake. Accompanied by Ralph Scheide, a Waldheim aide and co- author of the white paper, Molden called the Austrian President the victim of a smear campaign. "If you pour two gallons of manure over somebody, he will smell," Molden said, "and then you can say that he stinks." Scheide argued that the case against Waldheim has dwindled to charges that...
...issues in Bush's case are judgment and veracity. If he was as close to the President as he claims, why did he not recognize the warning signs (evident in the notes of his own meetings) of what was clearly an arms-for-hostages deal? As the proud author of the Administration's tough anti-terrorism policy, how could he have let the President be led into violating a central tenet of that policy, a refusal to make deals with hostage takers? Even his claimed ignorance is a pallid excuse, since it suggests, as Haig put it in an earlier...
...mixed reviews for its show, which its employees dubbed "Rogerama," a reference to the splashy Motorama auto shows that the company held at the Waldorf a generation ago. Said Thomas J.

Peters and other detractors maintain that consumers have been turned off by GM's lack of innovation and its look-alike designs, which have made it hard to tell...
...priestess of fertility, this Danielle Steel. After the birth of her ninth child, Zara, and the publication of her 23rd book, both mother and author are doing well. Steel these days enters best-seller lists at the top. Kaleidoscope, one of her better tear-stained efforts, is about a less fortunate lady, Hilary Walker, whose father strangled her mother and then killed himself, who was torn from her two beloved sisters, indentured in foster homes and raped by adolescents of both sexes. But Hilary, with eyes like green ice or emerald fire, is a survivor who goes on to make...
...reference to an unspecified night in June 1904, when "Patrick Prentiss came for the first time to Kilpeder and booked a room at the Arms." The time may be of little consequence to most readers, but some will not be able to ignore that, by coincidence or design, the author begins his plunge into Irish history with a suggestion of the most famous date in modern literature. That would be Bloomsday (June 16, 1904), the day of James Joyce's Ulysses...
