...currently prescribed overseas for schizophrenia, seems to soften the "crash," a unique combination of depression and craving that follows one cocaine binge and typically leads to another round. In preliminary trials on a group of ten Bahamian crack addicts seeking treatment, researchers from Yale found that even low doses kept users off cocaine for the two-month duration of the trial. Another drug, carbamazepine, long taken to prevent seizures, has proved to be moderately effective against cocaine craving. In tests this year, six of 13 people taking the drug stopped using cocaine and the remaining seven reduced their intake about...
...Reykjavik summit in 1986, Gorbachev opened the encounter with a list of sweeping arms proposals that kept Ronald Reagan off balance for the rest of their time together.

Koppel and Talbott kept in constant touch over an open telephone line. They were assisted by experts who helped improvise minicrises as the scenario unfolded, translated "hot-line" messages that flashed back and forth between the capitals by fax, and doubled as supporting actors when the stars demanded an on-camera briefing...
Bush received word of the coup before departing for Malta, and was kept posted on events while he was aboard Air Force One. Just before 11 p.m. Thursday , Bush learned of Aquino's request that U.S. fighters place an "aggressive cap" over two airfields near Manila from which the rebels had launched attacks against government positions. Meanwhile, Vice President Dan Quayle chaired a crisis-management group in the White House Situation Room to review options. At 11:30 the Quayle group recommended granting Aquino's request, and Bush approved it an hour later. In addition, 100 U.S. Marines, part...
