However incontrovertible the logic, even Baker admits the Administration will have no Nicaraguan policy "without Congress being a full partner." Last week he met privately with key congressional leaders to urge that support for the contras, scheduled to run out on March 31, be extended at the rate of about $4 million a month. The Democrats haven't said yes yet, but they have been willing to listen. "There's a lot more trust with these guys than there ever was with the Reagan crowd," says Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, a persistent critic of Reagan's Central America policy...

At $4,400, the poor Turk was probably underpaid for his kidney. But in an open, legal market with protections against exploitation, he might have got more. At some price, the deal would make sense for almost anyone. I have no sentimental attachment to my kidneys. Out of prudence, I'd like to hang on to one of them, but the other is available. My price is $2 million...
