...package will keep the freedom fighters together, body and soul," said a senior White House official. "It also provides the option to get new aid to them if the Sandinistas do not live up to their pledges." But the Administration was nevertheless shaken by the unexpected deal signed at Sapoa. "The contras jumped the gun, got out of control, by signing," said an official. After a Washington meeting last week with three of the rebel leaders who signed the Sapoa agreement, a State Department official contended that the contras had signed the cease-fire on the assumption that it would...
...some of the competition. For five weeks, Canadian Developer Robert Campeau engaged in a bidding battle with R.H. Macy for Federated Department Stores, a retail giant with 650 outlets, including such prestigious chains as Bloomingdale's, I. Magnin and Bullock's. Federated had tentatively agreed to a deal with Macy, which has 97 stores, but Campeau, who already owns the Allied Stores chain of 286 retail outlets in the U.S., hiked his offer. Tired of being tugged in two directions, Federated set last Wednesday as a deadline for final bids. But the two sides kept sweetening their offers even beyond...

So he called Jackson and asked for the right to name Missouri's at- large delegates in return for helping Jackson with delegate slates in South Dakota and Texas. Jackson magnanimously...
...Susan Estrich flew to New York City two days before the Michigan vote to meet with Cuomo's son Andrew, with the thought that a quick endorsement might be arranged. Andrew posed a number of detailed questions: Would Dukakis come to New York for the announcement? How would he deal with Jackson? Did Dukakis have a message for Jewish voters? But no agreement was reached before Michigan put a halt to the talks. Andrew found Estrich a difficult, brittle person to deal with, and communications between the two have pretty much shut down, although the two Governors keep in contact...
