...neither, it seems, can Baker. Critics claim that like Bush, Baker is drawn too heavily toward stability. Baker backed the President's impulse to go on supporting Gorbachev even when the ex-Soviet leader's weaknesses were becoming clear.

Most, of course, were for stories or pictures that appeared in 1990, beginning with the Jan. 1 issue.
