Reform is most important in the F.D.N., which has been accused of human rights violations. Reform would have a very practical military and diplomatic effect on a lot of Nicaraguans who left the country. These are middle- and working-class people who have expressed a desire to fight but who are afraid that the F.D.N. would create another dictatorship. Beyond Nicaragua, if the contras were acceptable to Latin Americans, then the Latin Americans would stop using Central America as their way to express anger...
Nonetheless, both the U.S. and the Soviet Union seemed committed to proceeding toward a summit later this year.

But Dobrynin's messages last week, both literal and atmospheric, will make it difficult for Gorbachev to back out without considerable provocation.

...spring 1984, the University revised its procedures for handling sexual harassment complaints, making the rules clearer though not substantially changing them. Since the revisions were made, reporting to College sexual harassment officers has not increased, prompting some to express concern that not enough people have been made aware of the problem or the channels for filing complaints. Indeed, Honnet thinks that some of the need for informal counseling has been met through unofficial channels such as peer groups. A recent study in the Boston area showed that rape or harassment victims are more likely to call counseling services than...
