...contra reform. Right now, the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (F.D.N., the largest contra army) and United Nicaraguan Opposition (the main contra political organization) are a little bit like the tail wagging the dog. The military has to become subordinate to U.N.O. It's also important that the military be represented, so it's not just a bunch of politicians running the army. There is also a need for unity with other groups. One reason for the success of the Sandinistas is that they've been fighting a one-front...

The President hung around the O's dugout for the first two innings, at one point devouring a mustard-smeared hot dog. The former radio sportscaster gripped an imaginary bat as he told stories about filming The Winning Team, in which he portrayed Pitching Great Grover Cleveland Alexander. Unfortunately for the O's, life has not yet imitated art. The team has lost all three games at which Reagan has pitched...
