...Administration rejected the legislators' contention that the station violates only the "letter of the treaty -- not its purpose." Frank Gaffney, acting Assistant Secretary of Defense, insisted that the radar is a "significant military project which fundamentally undercuts the ABM treaty." If the Soviets want to convey a new openness on verification, said Gaffney, the proper signal would be the "total dismantling of the illegal installation...
...contrast, the Sandinistas, who waged an 18-year guerrilla war before marching triumphantly into Managua in 1979, are masters of tenacity. Seeing Reagan on the ropes, they have mounted a public relations campaign designed to convey goodwill.

By the mid-1980s the Neue Wilde, or new fauves, had become such a market bandwagon, so copious a fount of self-important rhetoric, that the rediscovered anguish of the postwar German soul ran some risk of joining the death of Little Nell as one of those things one could not read about without laughing...
