...since the December airport attacks to impose diplomatic and economic sanctions on Libya, were careful to balance criticisms of the American raid with strong condemnations of Libya and terrorism. Opposition politicians, especially those on the left, were less circumspect. In the Netherlands, for example, Foreign Minister Hans van den Broek observed in fairly mild terms that "we seriously doubt if terrorism can be actually erased this way," but Klaas de Vries, parliamentary spokesman for the Labor Party, thundered that the strikes "made fools of all European ministers who had urged restraint...

The Vice President, eager to defuse the lingering ultraconservative hostility that could block his presidential ambitions for 1988, bravely forayed into the far- right corner of the lion's den last week to honor the memory of William Loeb, the late publisher of New Hampshire's Manchester Union Leader.
