Third, talking straight says that a special relationship is not a pretext for condescension. Israel is a powerful, sophisticated state. Why should it not be accorded the respect due any friendly nation that one felt was going blind to its own best interests? Is Israel below criticism...
...excluder. He likes to be liked; he hates to lose any audience (which makes him run perpetually late, lingering with every group to complete his sale). Jackson is a performer, and, like Reagan, to whom he bears some unexpected resemblances, he is a master at wrapping a deeply felt conviction inside a one-liner. And he is bad at firing anyone. His receptiveness to anybody who will join him can be ludicrous, as when he took a wrestler named "Silo Sam," who claims to be seven-foot-seven, along on several stops the day after he met him, accepting Silo...

It is also one of Baker's fervent goals to help Reagan go out with dignity and glory. It is not strange at all that such a finale for the President would be about the best thing to happen to George Bush...
