...Jackson, the new relationship would entail an end to runoff elections. He also wants the few white Democrats who represent predominantly black congressional districts to give up their seats in favor of black candidates. With Mondale trailing so badly, there has been little point in blacks' asserting their demands aggressively. But after next Tuesday, Jackson's own agenda, as well as the hopes and resentments he has aroused within the party, could bubble forth again. "There's some lack of trust and some anxiety" between him and party leaders, he admits. "I'll have something...
What are the contras supposed to do with their American supplied weapons except blow up things and kill people? What else does CIA training entail? This manual simply spells out the common sense measures that groups from the Boers to the Rhmer Rouge have taken to mount effective insurrections. But aided by a lack of press coverage of that region Reagan has been able to play down the real consequences of his policies, making the contras sound like cartoon GI Joes fighting for truth and justice with guns that only kill Commies.

...only unfair-it misses the point that there are substantially more legitimate doubts about the wisdom of this policy in particular and about the President's approach to complicated national security issues in general. Reagan has often been drawn instinctively to simplistic, gimmicky solutions to problems that entail layers upon layers of historical background and technical complexity. Reagan's early fascination with supply-side economics in its least sophisticated form and his advocacy of a two-China policy are but two examples. He abandoned both during the crash course in realism that comes with being President...
