...thing about such criticism, say Administration officials, is that Shultz is a leading advocate of using force against terrorists. One explanation for the right's indignation is Shultz's refusal to fill key State slots with true believers. Another comes from New York Times Columnist William Safire, who wrote last week in defense of Shultz, "America's right wing sorely misses Nelson Rockefeller . . . Politics without a villain is like a lens without a focal point." The man to hold responsible for Reagan's foreign policy, he noted, is Reagan. TERRORISM A Score Still Unsettled...

Although only 12% of newly commissioned U.S. Army lieutenants are West Pointers, 37% of the Army's generals once wore cadet gray. The academy sets the tone for the officer corps; it regards itself as a repository...
...President now has 85 vacancies to fill on the federal bench and 25 nominations waiting in the Senate for confirmation. Perhaps the two most prominent choices are James Buckley, 62, currently president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, for the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals and Berkeley Law Professor John Noonan, 59, for the Ninth Circuit in the Far West. The Administration has set up an elaborate process to examine candidates. Each receives a ten-page questionnaire. A daylong interview follows at the Justice Department. Further hurdles include review by a special Administration committee that meets each Thursday...
