Sensing a doublecross, Republican Senator Robert Dole of Kansas angrily accused Bergland of being in "open conflict with what the Congress has directed him to do." Finally, in early November the Administration imposed the tariff and established the support program. For no apparent reason, however, the regulations omitted refined sugar from the tariffs and were otherwise ineffective in curtailing the import of raw sugar before the Jan. 1 deadline. While the Administration delayed closing the loopholes for ten weeks, foreign sugar flooded the U.S. In December alone, nearly 2 million tons of sugar was imported, about six times the normal...
...drama, the Senate shut its ;all wooden doors for a secret debate on the latest hurdle facing the Panama Canal treaties: charges linking Moisés Torrijos, the brother of Panama's strongman, General Omar Torrijos, to heroin smuggling in the U.S. Called at the insistence of Kansas Republican Robert Dole and other treaty opponents, the two-day session attracted as many as 70 Senators, practically a mob in Capitol Hill terms.

Along with the indictment, antitreaty Senators cited a four-year-old, 20-page Senate intelligence committee report, also released last week, which said that "some sources" had testified that President Torrijos "knew about" drug trafficking by his brother and other Panamanian officials but did nothing about it.

"We don't have to prove that Torrijos is an angel. I don't think he is ... What is important is whether the treaties are in the long-term interest of the United...
...volumes chronicling the lives and loves of the descendants of Heathcliff and Catherine." The prospect of some nine generations of Heathcliffs yet to come is horrifying, and not in a way Emily Brontë would admire. A Heathcliff in the factory, another in the trenches, yet another on the dole and, finally, a Heathcliff as the lead singer in a group of punk rockers: it will be too much. Heathcliff should remain in the state Bronte left him, buried under the moor while his spirit roamed, exactly where it belonged, around Wuthering Heights...
