...worsening humanitarian crisis. Half of Asia's malaria deaths occur here; a third of the children under 5 years old are malnourished; most of its people live on less than a dollar a day. "People have been successfully intimidated into keeping their heads down--maybe," says Shari Villarosa, charg?? d'affaires at the U.S. embassy in Rangoon. "But it's still a struggle for them to survive--to feed and educate their families, to get health care. So there could be another eruption...
When it comes to Syria, it's not as if we haven't talked. We have a charg?? [d'affaires] in Syria. Colin Powell went to Syria. Bill Burns went to Syria multiple times. It's not a problem that people don't talk to Syria. It's that Syria doesn't appear to listen or respond.

Here was a former ambassador, an Africa expert, who could flaunt his pictures with past Presidents, Democrats and Republicans alike--including one with President George H.W. Bush, who had called Wilson a hero for his service as charg?? d'affaires in Baghdad before the first Gulf War.

The U.S. and Iraq urged Baghdad's diplomatic community to remain steadfast. "U.S. diplomats aren't going to let terrorists deter...
Soviet diplomats frequently call at the State Department. Particularly since the Geneva summit, there has been a great deal of mid-level diplomacy. So there was no reason to expect anything out of the ordinary when Oleg Sokolov, the Soviet charg?? d'affaires in Washington, arrived early last Wednesday morning to see Secretary of State George Shultz. But when Sokolov handed him a lengthy letter from Mikhail Gorbachev to Ronald Reagan, Shultz became the first man in official Washington to be startled by a sweeping and unexpected new arms-control proposal. It was studded with ambiguities and potentially risky approaches...
