...Reagan has shown little inclination to treat the Salvadoran, Nicaraguan and Guatemalan dilemmas as more than incidents in a larger East-West conflict. Last week, one official in Washington aid that troubles in Latin America came from "leftists, communists, and other subversives." this off-repeated White House line obscures a striking reality about Latin America: The economic chaos Reagan will find during his trop sums up the recent history of El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala as well. But in those countries, the resulting economic, social and political inequities--not a bunch of revolutionary communists--led to upheaval. Reagan hopes...
Finishing his studies at the University of Melbourne. Pisar was awarded a fellowship to Harvard Law School, and recalls with joy the years he spent completing first an M.A. and then a Ph.D. on the legal aspects of East-west trade. "At Harvard, my mind was set on fire," he writes. "I spent my night in the second basement in the dust that Dr. Newton had ordered me to avoid.

Speaking in English and without notes, he launched into a 90-minute attack on the Administration that seemed to reflect all the grievances of the Kremlin over the past three years. Korniyenko lambasted Washington's trade sanctions and its policy toward Eastern Europe, but reserved most...
...Other West Europeans hope that Andropov's ascendancy will break the pattern of worsening East-West relations. Says Enrico Jacchia, director of Rome's Center of Strategic Studies: "Our colleagues in the Soviet Union who were in close contact with Andropov before Brezhnev's death have often spoken of him as a focal point for more flexible East-West relations." Jacchia, like many Europeans, fears that Washington may pass up an opportunity to exploit openings. "Clearly, there is something new beginning to move in Moscow. Will Reagan and his people react positively to this...
