...Yanqui problem. "They were armed, trained and encouraged by the U.S.," says Gilberto Goldstein, an opposition assemblyman. "If the U.S. has no further use for them, it should at least take care of them. The problem shouldn't be dumped on us." Officially, Washington has no plans to deal with the contras if funding is irrevocably halted. But a U.S. official in the region says, "We have assured the Hondurans that we will take care of the problem when and if it arises...
...when Robert Bork was named Solicitor General, his Yale law students gave him a construction worker's hard hat with his new title on it. That was , in 1973, when a hard hat still symbolized the bareknuckle school of conservatism. Bork's own methods of persuasion are a good deal less belligerent, but the joke was to the point. He had built his reputation as a legal hard-liner, both for his narrow reading of the Constitution and for the conservative results of such analysis. When he moved later into the offices of a federal judge, he brought the hard...

That rocket is fired from a similar launcher and can hit not only $ Bonn and Paris but also Boston and Peoria. Substituting...
Sometimes the Soviets have insisted on linking the various negotiations: no INF deal without a strategic offense-defense trade-off. At other times they have appeared willing not to link the issues, letting Reagan have an agreement and a summit without his having to make any concessions on SDI. Their current position is ambiguous -- and therefore flexible. Currently they are proposing an "INF-plus" summit. The plus would be a "framework agreement" on START and SDI -- not a full treaty, but an outline of its main provisions, notably including testing limits...
