...better than apartheid." Maybe. But you are not concerned about what the results would be and what would happen to the rest of Africa. In Mozambique and Angola, the facts are readily available of the repression, the suffering, the dying in these countries after nine years of friendship with Moscow...
Nakasone had hoped for a surge of support from his party's power brokers following the seven-nation economic summit in Tokyo last month to pave the way toward an unprecedented third term. Instead, he was widely denounced for his handling of the meeting. His vaunted friendship with President Reagan produced no progress on stabilizing the yen, which has risen more than 30% against the dollar since September, cutting into the competitiveness of Japanese exports.

...some Western intelligence agencies, link Syria with the recent attempt by a Jordanian-born Palestinian to plant a bomb aboard a London-Tel Aviv El Al flight with 360 passengers aboard. Evidence also surfaced that could tie the Syrians to a West Berlin explosion that destroyed the German-Arab Friendship Society, and possibly to a subsequent blast at La Belle discotheque in the same city.

The prime suspects are two Syrian-trained Palestinian brothers...

U.S. intelligence officers believe he was a Syrian intelligence recruit who tried to send his unsuspecting Irish girlfriend onto the El Al flight carrying a bag lined with explosives. His brother Hazi, in custody in West Berlin, has confessed to the attack on the friendship society. Inside the Syrian embassy in East Berlin, Hazi claims, he was given advice and "tactical guidance" on bomb preparation and timing devices. Hazi has denied any involvement in the La Belle explosion. Nonetheless, West German police reported that the disco explosives closely resembled the bomb that wrecked the friendship society...
