...dilemma has split the Administration. Weinberger made clear his dissent from the current no-default policy at a dinner with reporters last week. At the next National Security Council meeting, Weinberger in effect apologized for his indiscretion. Reagan, however, made it known that the issue was still open, telling intimates that he was only deferring default "for the moment." Poland has more than $100 million of federally insured payments that are due to U.S. banks in February and March, and $221.3 million more due this year.

Individual cases vary, but banned people may be confined to specific districts away from their homes and are often restricted to their quarters at night or on weekends. They must report regularly to the police and are never permitted to meet socially with more than one person at a time. (The authorities recently made a brief exception: Mrs. Mandela was allowed to attend her brother's funeral. On her way home...
...yard of folk superstition, passes for the most advanced medical thinking." Sontag attempts to refute such theories, ascribing them to fear and ignorance in the face of a disease that eludes any comprehensive cure. Yet, cogent arguments seem pale beside Zorn's anguished testimony. Testimony that drowns out dissent through its own vehemence...
