...delay is that the Nicaraguans depend heavily upon Cuban diplomats for guidance. U.S. officials say that at recent Contadora sessions, the Nicaraguans and Cubans have occupied adjoining hotel suites. Last week's Panama City agreement was announced only after the Sandinista Foreign Minister, Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, met quietly with Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Ricardo Alarcon de Quesada. The U.S. maintains its own discreet channels of influence with Contadora through the Administration's special presidential envoy for Central America, Harry Shlaudeman, a veteran Foreign Service officer who was executive director of the Kissinger Commission on Central America...
...took a very different attitude toward the court in 1980, when it sought to censure Iran for holding American hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Noted Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann: "When Iran refused to participate, the U.S. took the position that the court should go right ahead.

That kind of provocative rhetoric drew a sharp response from U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick. Said she: "The United States isn't invading anybody...
...airport ceremony forced John Paul to deal head-on with the nettlesome issue of Nicaraguan priests who hold government posts in defiance of his wishes. Foreign Minister Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, a Maryknoll priest, was conveniently out of the country, attending a meeting of the nonaligned nations in New Delhi, when the Pope arrived. But Minister of Culture Ernesto Cardenal Martinez, a priest, was in the official receiving line along with other government ministers. He was wearing his typical rustic white cotton shirt, baggy blue work pants and a black beret. As the Pontiff approached, Cardenal whipped off his beret...
