...military questions alone threatened to be an enormously nuanced exercise. Some strategists have already been severely critical of the Administration for failing to hit back at Iran when the reflagged tanker Bridgeton struck a mine last month. "We should have pulverized Farsi Island," fumed Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser. "All this power cringing in the area is a terrible embarrassment...
Apparently the closest Crimson staffers have gotten to the facts of the accident is the Facilities and Maintenance Shuttle garage where J. Carter Vincent took a picture of the bus which looks infinitely more shocking now than when its last passengers left it. Both Ms. van Wingerden's articles, and the editorial piece, "Harvard, Have You Forgotten About PBH?" written by Jeffrey S.

In van Wingerden's articles she repeatedly gives the reader the impression that passengers only escaped from the bus seconds before...
Every candidate for President strives for a persona that shouts to voters, "Here's a strong leader!" For Democrats, that imperative is a special challenge.

Reagan, of course, is not a candidate for re-election, but he has become increasingly concerned with his place in history and would not want to be remembered for having weakened the chances of the Republican nominee...
...former Watergate Prosecutor James Neal: In Watergate, "serious criminal statutes were involved. Officials were obstructing an FBI investigation, there was a 'smoking-gun tape,' the White House was paying burglars to keep quiet. Here, everything is murky." Attorney Arthur Christy, a former special prosecutor who investigated charges against Jimmy Carter's aide Hamilton Jordan, also doubts that convictions can be achieved. Says he: "A good prosecutor might convince some jurors that North broke the law, but I doubt he could get twelve...
