After talking with Colombian authorities and Spradley in the Riohacha hospital, Chief Rogers became convinced that his man might have been seeking something other than drill bits on his ill-fated flight. Said he: "My impression is that it was a marijuana run, a drug deal gone bad. Spradley is not the smartest person in the world." So he decided to head home, leaving Everitt to pick up the pieces...

Jimmy Carter's relations with Big Business, never warm or close, have become even cooler and more distant as the President and his lieutenants have poured out inflammatory business-bashing rhetoric. The assaults are particularly troubling because they come at a time when the nation can ill afford more divisiveness.

He has been capable of aggressive anti-intellectualism. He displayed what Frady calls his "capacity...
However, only very specious reasoning would indicate that the Corporation's action and Mr. Calkin's statement conferred "legitimacy upon Ian Smith's 'internal settlement.'" If anything, it is a tacit recognition of the new Muzorewa government, which strikes me as both responsible and morally sensitive. The resolutions were ill-conceived.
