...healthy is Mikhail Gorbachev? Who made the best career move last week? Who is more outrageous, Clayton Williams or Gus Savage? And why might James Baker go to Wyoming for more than the fishing and beautiful scenery? You can discover the answers to all these questions in our expanded, one-page Grapevine section, now running at the front of the magazine. First introduced in Nation two years ago, Grapevine offered readers an insidey look at politics in Washington and across the country.

Nor were things much better once the poolers were allowed into the sunlight. "To the extent we got any news at all," Komarow says, "it was pretty much by accident." He notes, for example, that the pool did witness looting in Panama City, but only when their military driver lost his way. Exposure to actual combat was also a matter of chance, as when Noriega forces attacked the Southern Command...
