...Wirth--three of the men Rothenberg discusses at length (he discusses to women)--their failure often to get things done politically is striking, as anyone who remembers the Medfly fiasco in California can attest to. Others of this breed seem more sensible, a Tsongas or a Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.). Rothenberg writes of the way similar rhetoric characterizes the neoliberals. That's well enough, but behind this rhetoric there is a distinct lack of the coalition-building and bridge-crossing that makes politics work, a significant irony in light of the renewed call for cooperation among the country...
...offensive in Grenada, is nothing short of absurd when applied to evaluations like the House subcommittee's. What appears to concern Weinberger most is not the report itself, but rather the public airing of soiled Pentagon linen. This, despite the claim of Appropriations Committee Chair Rep. Joseph P.

But strangest of all, don't the House and Senate intelligence committees...
Refugees' reports, for instance, are often dismissed as unreliable. But, as even Rep. Stephen J. Solarz (D-N.Y.), an authority on Asia and trenchant critic of the Administration, has pointed out, this contempt is ill founded. Refugees ranging from the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany to Cambodians fleeing Pol Pot carried the truth about the regimes they were fleeing, though it was initially dismissed. Solarz writes, "It strains credulity to believe that the refugees escaping "yellow rain" in Asia, alone among the victims of repression, are engaged in a monumental hoax...
