...David Aaron, 39. At the first meeting of the U.S. and U.S.S.R. SALT negotiators nearly ten years ago in Helsinki, the atmosphere was frosty until a U.S. representative impulsively struck a match to light a cigarette for a Soviet negotiator. The tension eased, and Aaron, then a junior aide, has been making sparks ever since. Now, as deputy to National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, he exercises powerful influence in the White House. A moderate on U.S.-Soviet affairs...

Mohsen's own Saiqa group accused the Egyptian secret service and its Israeli counterpart, Mossad, of having conspired...
Meanwhile, to halt what Foreign Minister Ibrahim Yazdi (see interview) has called "inaccurate reporting" by the foreign press, the Tehran government last week served notice that it was drawing up new restrictions on foreign reporters. New York Times Correspondent Youssef Ibrahim was ordered out of Iran. In early July David Lamb of the Los Angeles Times had also been expelled. No specific grounds were given for Ibrahim's ouster, but Yazdi said it was because of "the general tone of his reporting. American correspondents are not reporting accurately on Iran. We do not say everything is rosy...
