...hands tremble slightly now, and the flesh around his eyes makes them seem smaller than they really are, heightening an occasional glare, muffling his frequent shy smiles. Yet Janos Kadar still displays the same unexpected charm and cool canniness that have helped make the onetime typewriter mechanic the boldest and most beloved leader in Eastern Europe. Wearing a tailored gray suit and a wine-red silk tie, Kadar chain-smoked Symphonia cigarettes while talking for two hours with a group of TIME visitors in his office in Budapest's Central Committee headquarters. Any initial reserve that the General Secretary displayed...
...minute speech, given not in the glare of prime time but to at afternoon gathering of foreign-policy groups, offered nothing new in the way of putting pressure on the intransigent Afrikaner-led South African government. Although it was meant to calm the debate over sanctions, it brought the issue to such a head that by week's end Reagan's aides were scurrying to hint that his policy could change. The Senate, led by rebellious Republicans, proceeded to draw up a bill to apply further sanctions. Desmond Tutu, the Anglican Archbishop-elect of South Africa, called the speech "nauseating...

With public sentiment already riled by the influence-peddling scandal surrounding former White House Aide Michael Deaver, it was an inopportune time for lawmakers to appear beholden to lobbyists on the evening news. As Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole dryly warned his colleagues last week, "I wouldn't want to be offering any tax breaks...
...moment, the Cuomo strategy seems to be to run for President by not running, reflecting the newest conventional wisdom that it may no longer be necessary to begin campaigning years before the nomination. In the relentless glare of the media age, overexposure can be more devastating than an undernourished organization, and the public can grow disenchanted with campaigners it knows too well. A candidate with a solid background and strong base (New York, say) might be able to patrol the sidelines--at least until near the end of 1987--and gain as a presence through his absence.
