...poaching has become a growth industry, taken over by gangs who shanghai salmon the way more conventional bandits rob banks. Today's poachers use radio-equipped lookouts to check for water bailiffs, sophisticated systems of decoy cars to deploy their forces and middlemen to market their take. The object: big catches, swiftly and efficiently distributed. The only weapon the government men have is a truncheon, which, under antiquated rules, can be drawn only in self-defense. The poachers, meanwhile, sport a growing assortment of weapons...
...most important and immediate point of contention is the installation later this year of American Pershing II ballistic and Tomahawk cruise missiles in Western Europe. The U.S. and its NATO allies quite justifiably insist on the right to deploy new weapons in Europe to redress the military imbalance resulting from the Soviet buildup in recent years, especially the arrival on the scene of some 360 SS-20 ballistic missiles, each with three warheads. The Soviets, quite outrageously but very stubbornly, have made it a cornerstone of their policy that NATO has no such right; not a single new long-range...
Another possibility would be for the U.S. to be prepared to sacrifice the Pershing II and deploy only cruise missiles in exchange for dramatic reductions in the European SS-20 force and other Soviet concessions (including an end to Soviet insistence on limiting British and French nuclear forces under an agreement).

Both men were overruled by their home offices on the grounds that they had given away too much...
...officials are perplexed and angered by the West German efforts to revive interest in the walk-in-the-woods formula. Their main fear is political: if the plan to install Pershing IIs were abandoned, West Germany would move from the head of the line of countries deploying new missiles to near the end, since it would receive cruise missiles only after Britain, Italy and Belgium. Any sign that West Germany was weakening its commitment might unleash doubts among other NATO allies, not just about West German but also about American resolve, thereby threatening the entire missile deployment scheme. Washington will...
...rarely does the quest for facts and analysis involve as many members of the bureau and their disparate assignments as this week's cover package on the dramatic hardening of the Reagan Administration's Central American policy. As last week progressed, Bureau Chief Robert Ajemian moved to deploy more and more of his 18-person staff to cover the multiplying elements and events. Defense Correspondent Bruce Nelan sought to put together details of the U.S. ground and sea exercises in and around Central America, but found "the Pentagon planning group that will work out the specifics with Honduras...
