Reagan clearly relished delivering such a blunt reminder of the dim view he takes of the U.N.'s frequent impotence in international crises and its often hypocritical denunciations of U.S. policies. It was equally clear, however, that he had no immediate intention of moving beyond rhetoric to any concrete steps that would press the organization to relocate. But his remarks, only days before he was scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly this week, touched off tremors about the U.N.'s future. After 31 years overlooking Manhattan's East River, the 158 delegations to the U.N. were...
Watt's off-the-cuff zingers have been a frequent source of pain for the Reagan Administration-not to mention those who have been at the receiving end of them. Unabashedly, indeed excessively, partisan in his politics, Watt has been known to distinguish between Democrats and Republicans as "liberals and Americans."

Zamora, who has made frequent visits to Washington to woo members of Congress and has met in the past months with U.S. Special Envoy Richard Stone, had been invited to speak in the U.S. The Administration's excuse was that Zamora had publicly welcomed the killing of a U.S. military adviser in El Salvador last...
However, Sanders, who was a teammate of Jones on the Celtics during the '60s, said his coaching schedule didn't allow much time for frequent late afternoon and evening House functions...
