...deal with an ally you cannot trust? In the eyes of many in the Reagan Administration, that is the central dilemma confronting U.S. Middle East policy in the wake of the Beirut massacre. Teeth gritted, State Department and White House officials acknowledge that they must go on negotiating with the Israeli government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, if only because any overt U.S. pressure would prompt disaffected Israelis to rally around him, making him even more defiant. But U.S. officials, despite their best diplomatic efforts, cannot hide a deep sense of betrayal. Put crudely, they now believe the Begin government...

There already exists in the Philippines a tradition of democratic rule and a moderate democratic opposition which would probably accept American ties.

...sitcom more vividly real than a phenome non that predated his birth. But members of his immediate family are judged in the same way: "Dick Bowden, Todd's father, looked remarkably like a movie and TV actor named Lloyd Bochner." When Todd finds himself in a dilemma, he mentally goes to the movies: "He thought of a cartoon character with an anvil suspended over its head...
