...play to consolidate the Pragmatists' control of the White House. This week he plans to ask Reagan to abolish Meese's old Counsellor job. Baker wants to prevent Reagan from putting a True Believer into the spot. He is particularly eager to stop U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick from moving into a newly created role as counselor for foreign policy. Baker feels so strongly about this that if Reagan does not go along, he may submit his resignation...
...behalf of the thousands of Weinberger's victims whose corpses are piled in mass graves from H. Salvador to Lebanon. There are plenty of right-wing professors at Harvard who act as "distinguished" apologists for death squad "democracies" or argue openly for anti-Soviet nuclear war. But Jeane Kirkpatrick. Caspar Weinberger. Henry Kissinger, Jose Napoleon Duarte, P.W. Botha, ad nauseuin are war criminals, not academics!

The meeting was much shorter than the American side had expected, lasting just three hours. Neither side would disclose what was said, but American officials reported that the meeting represented "a good start...
...despite the hopeful smiles and the enthusiastic statements, the Soviets were exercising caution in voicing their preference for the 1984 election. Too obvious an endorsement of Mondale would almost certainly have backfired, prompting many voters to desert the Democratic nominee as too conciliatory and, in U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's words, "soft on Communism." The risk of such a backlash, significant in any election, would have been compounded in this race by Reagan's remarkable ability to maintain a monopoly on flag and patriotism--and his repeated attempts to associate Mondale with the Carter Administration's perceived inability to adequately...
