...code name for the Colombia operation was Hat Trick. The plan was to deploy dozens of Coast Guard and Navy vessels across a wide sweep of the Caribbean to intercept the huge shipments of marijuana that are transported from Colombia to the U.S. at the conclusion of the pot harvest in November and December. The elaborate strategy called for Colombian soldiers to move against marijuana traffickers in the Guajira Peninsula, between the Gulf of Venezuela and the Caribbean. With Venezuelan and Panamanian soldiers guarding their respective borders, the smugglers would be forced to ship out the marijuana...
...talks. Intra-Administration rivalry, attempts to solidify the support of the Europeans, the "public relations" push for domestic support of our position--Talbott describes it all in excruciating and damning (at least in his eyes) detail. His acknowledgement, that the Soviets never accepted the West's intention to deploy at least some missiles to counter the SS-20 sneaks by in a glancing reference. The Soviets' ridiculous opening proposal, in which they offered to participate in creation of a "nuclear-free Europe" (thereby leaving the Europeans at the political and military mercy of vastly superior Warsaw Pact conventional armies...
...tilt of his sword sheath; Constable Dogberry (Christopher Benjamin) casually flings a purse in the air, and his deputy Verges catches it in his hat. The gags, however earthbound, raise laughs hearty enough to fill Broadway's biggest house. But around the surefire comic bits, Hands continues to deploy the human opposites only art can reconcile. By the end of the evening a friar can dance with a wench, and the dead come back to life, and lovers banter until they fall into each other's arms at dawn...
...Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces) talks. When they began in November 1981, the U.S. planned to install in Western Europe 572 single-warhead Pershing II and Tomahawk cruise missiles to counter Soviet deployment of triple-warhead SS-20 missiles (about 270 in place then, more than 370 now) that were or could be targeted at Western Europe. The opening U.S. position was the "zero option": no U.S. deployment, scrapping of the entire Soviet SS-20 force. Later Reagan proposed an "interim solution": if the Soviets would reduce the number of SS-20s, the U.S. would deploy fewer than 572 missiles...
...months since NATO began to deploy new intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Western Europe, the Soviets have tried hard to discourage such dialogue. But East Germany has paid little heed. In a clear effort to preserve its close and lucrative ties with West Germany, it has allowed 27,000 East Germans to move to West Germany so far this year, nearly three times as many as in all of 1983. Communist Party Leader Erich Honecker has also proceeded with plans to visit West Germany next month, and will be the first East German leader ever to do so. East Germany...
