There was neither much trepidation nor preparation as Quayle was sent off on Wednesday night to make the prime-time interview rounds. Virtually the only advice given to Quayle: "Be yourself, and whatever you do, don't lie." The peripatetic Senator followed both instructions faithfully, perhaps too faithfully. Each time Quayle sat down before the cameras, he dropped another factlet about the efforts of his family and friends to ease his way into the National Guard. At times Quayle spoke with such enthusiasm about his ambition to be a Guardsman that one almost got the impression that...
...Karny, correspondent for the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, was promised a hotel in New Orleans with room service and cable TV so he could follow the convention on CNN while he was writing. He arrived to discover that the hotel offered neither. Within two hours, the toilet in his room had flooded. And because he was made to pay for his entire stay in advance, he could not move. "American journalists expect to be treated imperially when they go abroad, and they are," said Karny. "I do understand priorities, but I expect some sort of reciprocity...
Last May, acting under pressure from hard-liners in the military who resented Junejo's attempts to increase civilian control, Zia dissolved the government. His sudden death thus leaves Pakistan with neither a strong military leader nor a functioning civilian government.

The most recent team, two medical doctors, concluded that the use of chemical weapons "has been intensifying and has also become more frequent." Analysts speculate that Iran's pariah status may have engendered the silence. Neither Washington nor Moscow, they note, has been eager to impede Iraq's effort against Iran. Moreover, the war's seeming interminability has focused attention on the need for solutions, not more controversy. "In the interest of peace," concedes a U.N. staffer close to the cease-fire talks, "I doubt that we will...
Even if the 40 nations achieve consensus, the larger issue of global cooperation remains. Despite the more hospitable climate in which the superpowers have been able to negotiate reductions in nuclear forces, neither the U.S. nor the Soviet Union is likely to surrender its chemical-weapon option if smaller nations continue to churn out poison gas. "It is an outstanding problem getting the Third World to recognize that it is better inside the chemical-warfare-disa rmament machine," says Research Fellow Harris. "If it can't be convinced, there won't be a treaty...
