...Arabs and Israelis. Henry Kissinger, anathema to Reagan's right-wing supporters, has been called in as a consultant by Secretary of State George Shultz. "The reason guru-grabbing has come into such vogue is that a strategy vacuum exists within the divided Reagan White House," writes conservative Columnist William Safire. He regards Reagan's National Security Adviser, William Clark, as "Living proof that still waters can run shallow."

Buckley is enthusiastic: "I have for 30 years maintained that the genuine dissidents at liberal colleges are conservatives...
Hello, everybody. This is Father Guide Sarducci, gossip columnist for L'Osservatore Romano. Well, all the Vatican is abuzz with news of the latest scandal to hit St. Peter's Square. No, Yasser Arafat has not been made a Cardinal. No, a Swiss Guard has not run away with Koo Stark. (That's just my little joke.) Instead, some movie people have made a big expensive picture about, get this, an American priest who finances the papacy with money he got from the Mafia. He also has a real steamy love affair with a French lady...
