Although Idaho is landbound territory a few thousand miles from the tropics. the Panama Canal has become a major issue in the state's election. Church, remember, helped hand the trench over to the Panamanians, a move he contends kept Panama friendly to the U.S. Symms, though, cites the episode as evidence of Church's general softness and has forced Church to spend a good deal of his stump time discussing the waterway...
More than a year ago, conservative strategists gathered in some D.C. war room and began sticking pins in maps. They aimed at Church--their chief target, for he was floor manager for the Panama Canal "giveaway." They stuck a pin in Indiana, where they said Birch Bayh had voted consistently to cut national defense. Iowa's John Culver made it to the list, for his fellow Iowa liberal, Dick Clark, has proven vulnerable in 1978.

Where Carter delicately negotiated normalization of relations with the People's Republic of China, Reagan's ill-considered statements about Taiwan have already jeopardized our new friendship. Where Carter did what nobody thought could be done and engineered the Camp David peace treaty, Reagan gives no indication of how his dreams for the Middle East could be achieved. Where Carter has raised the issue of human rights, albeit inconsistently, Reagan would cast off the notion entirely because...
