...course, progress in a peace negotiation must often be measured in shifts of tone. Thus what Arce did not say may be more important. He ruled out neither diplomatic talks nor a negotiated cease-fire. Moreover, a day earlier, President Daniel Ortega Saavedra obliquely suggested that he might be willing to meet with the rebels. His refusal thus far, Ortega told TIME, "is not a dogmatic position or a position of principle. It's simply a realistic position. If I were sure that by talking to the contras we could solve the problem of the war, we would have talked...
...cities across the country in July showed that 93.8% of respondents believed it was necessary to reform the political structure. When the Novosti press agency surveyed a sample group of Moscow factory workers after the Central Committee plenum last June for their views on democratization and glasnost, 83% said neither had reached the necessary levels. A Western diplomat in Beijing explains, "Once managers begin making economic decisions for themselves, they will be less willing to have political decisions made for them."

Acknowledging that his candidacy "might unintentionally benefit antidemocratic forces," the elder Kim nonetheless declared that he will seek the post "to fulfill my responsibility to history...
Nixon, however, emerges as neither a political cartoon nor a satire. Instead, it is a daring, complex and ultimately successful examination of the moment in 1972 when West met East on the tarmac at Peking, a heroic opera for an unheroic age. Although historical operas are not unusual (Verdi's Don Carlos, for example), it is rare for a new work to treat personages of such recent vintage. The topic is resonant, for the former President still arouses potent emotions in those whose political consciousness was forged by Viet Nam, Kent State and Watergate. But the Minnesota-born Goodman...
