...object of Helms' ire was General Manuel Noriega, commander of Panama's defense force and the nation's strongman since 1983. Helms accused Noriega, a onetime intelligence chief and right-hand man of the late populist dictator Omar Torrijos, of being "head of the biggest drug-trafficking operation in the Western Hemisphere." Even Noriega's staunchest supporters in Washington suspected that Helms was on to something. Says one Reagan Administration official: "Noriega gets a cut of every kind of illicit business down there...
...This sort of thing raises the ire of many environmentalists. The January issue of Mother Jones scolds Rockwell for making Adams into an "arms peddler." Carl Pope, political director of the Sierra Club, calls Rockwell's use of the Adams photographs the "ultimate in cynicism."

...that it is not a duel to the death. "We don't see ourselves as pitted against Johnny Carson," says Barry Diller, chairman of Fox Inc., Rivers' corporate parent. "We're just aiming at improving the performance of the independent stations that carry us." Rivers, who roused Carson's ire last spring when she left for the competition without telling him first, is also sounding a conciliatory note: "My people will watch me; Johnny's people will watch him . . . We can all make it; the pie just has to be cut a little smaller." How many pieces...
