...conference could occur is at Soldier of Fortune, the macho magazine for adventurers (armchair and otherwise). The Colonel is Robert K. Brown, 52, a.k.a. "Uncle Bob," the onetime Green Beret who started the magazine in 1975 and owns it lock, stock and carbine barrel. Soldier of Fortune is a direct reflection of its creator: blunt, individualistic, muscularly anti-Communist.

For the first time, Peres also gave partial support to Hussein's long-standing insistence on an international peace conference as a forum for solving the Middle East's problems. The Israeli Labor Party leader's offer was speedily denounced...
...centralized socialist state, Tanzania has bolstered democratic institutions to a surprising extent. The country's constitution was amended last year to include, for the first time, a bill of rights guaranteeing fundamental freedoms, to strengthen the 244-seat Parliament and to provide for the direct election of more of its members. The President can still order preventive detention for as long as six months, but the names of those detained must now be published, and the legality of detentions can be challenged in the courts, which are refreshingly independent...
