...perhaps its most comforting finding for Ronald Reagan, the board concluded that "he did not intend to mislead the American public, or cover-up unlawful conduct." This was despite such televised claims by the President as "we did not trade arms for hostages" and all the weapons sent to Iran were defensive and "could fit in one plane." Unfortunately, the panel makes it relentlessly clear that the President's appalling lack of understanding about what was really occurring in no way vindicates him or his Administration. Indeed, that is the most damning indictment...
...addition to legal problems the two accused men face, they could also face expulsion if Cornell administrators find that they have violated any portion of the university's code of conduct...
Mulroney's fighting words have not reassured party regulars, many of whom see disaster ahead. A survey conducted earlier this month by Angus Reid Associates in Toronto suggests there is ample reason for concern. Mulroney's Conservatives now enjoy the backing of only 23% of Canadian voters, compared with a 50% favorable rating just before the September 1984 election. If an election were to be held now, the Liberals, with 42% support, would form Canada's next government, and the New Democrats, with 33%, would become the opposition. Mulroney, who is expected to conduct a second shuffle of his Cabinet...
Guerrilla war is always morally problematic, and it is therefore important for the U.S. to ensure that its allies conduct the war as humanely as any guerrilla war can be conducted.

There is no hope that Nicaraguans will enjoy anything near the liberty that Americans enjoy (and that the Nicaraguans were promised by the Sandinistas) unless their new tyranny is removed. How, then, does it serve...
When Reagan appointed the Tower commission in late November, it seemed likely that the panel would produce little more than a management consultant's dry analysis of the NSC. But armed with the President's authority to question anybody about anything, the three members took it on themselves to conduct the most sweeping investigation yet of the whole affair. They have questioned 58 witnesses, including several no other body had heard from -- Reagan, for one, as well as Manucher Ghorbanifar and Adnan Khashoggi, the two leading middlemen in the Iranian deals. The commission has prepared its own chronology...
