There seemed to be no comparable case of a political figure's embarking on foreign relations during a campaign. As New York Times Columnist James Reston noted, "The Communists would do almost anything to cooperate with Mr. Jackson in order to embarrass Mr. Reagan." Charging that Jackson was "interfering with the constitutional rights of the President and Congress to conduct foreign policy," Reston also suggested he might be in "violation of the Logan...

Founded as a daily national newspaper in 1926 by David Lawrence, a syndicated columnist, it evolved into its present format after World War II. In contrast to TIME (U.S. circ. 4.6 million) and Newsweek (U.S. circ. 3 million), U.S. News downplays reportage of a week's events in favor of analysis of their impact on readers and gives scant, though increasing, attention...
