...very volatile area of the world. About a year ago, I described that area as "an arc of crisis." I meant by that phrase a number of countries that have different internal causes of instability but cumulatively are facing widespread regional turbulence. The Soviet Union has chosen both to exploit that turbulence and to project its power into it. This is likely to be highly destabilizing for all of the neighbors of Afghanistan. The Soviets may hope to extract some benefits from it, but they should be increasingly aware that international stability and restraint are more in their own interest...

This election has featured some vintage White. If there is anything damaging being thrown around, it's all the stuff about the rising numbers of city employees and the mayor's bureaucracy/campaign staff. Timilty has failed to exploit issues, like the always wasteful and sometimes illegal activities of the Office of Cultural Affairs. White, meanwhile, has displayed unusual arrogance and, in keeping with the Richard Daley model, has gotten away with it. "I don't stop work at 5," he's told us several hundred times, "Why should they...
