...assistants and a former CIA agent working in Central America that revealed more extensive communications about the contras than were previously known. Donald Gregg, the Vice President's national security adviser, kept in touch % for years with his Viet Nam comrade Felix Rodriguez, who uses the nom de guerre Max Gomez. After helping Rodriguez in 1985 get a post advising the Salvadoran air force, Gregg talked periodically with him. Last August, Rodriguez informed Gregg that the efforts of the private groups supplying munitions to the rebels were failing. In October, Bush's office was the first to learn that...
...pseudonym derived from the Russian word molot (hammer). He was born on March 9, 1890, into the Scriabin family, shopkeepers in the provincial town of Kukarka, northeast of Moscow (in what is now the Kirov region), a way station on the long road to Siberia. Young Scriabin chose the nom de guerre Molotov when he entered the revolutionary underground. While still a student in a czarist secondary school, he joined in the abortive 1905 revolution. Molotov helped start up the Communist Party newspaper Pravda and was an organizer of the Bolshevik Revolution...

They may be as institutionally dull as his lackluster codfish with potatoes or the watery mushroom terrine or as wonderfully executed...

Jordanian agents seized Fatah documents and applied a seal of red wax to office doors. Arafat's top aide, Khalil Wazir, better known by his nom de guerre, Abu Jihad, was told to leave the country within 48 hours when he arrived at his office in the Jebel Amman district. Before embarking on a 450-mile auto journey across the desert to Baghdad, Wazir said, "We are sorry about this decision because we wanted to strengthen...
...tape recording in Arabic of the radio conversations that served to back the American and Israeli claim that Abbas was involved in the hijacking. There was nothing beyond the Israeli assertion to show that the tape was genuine. A man identified as Abbas, but referring to himself by the nom de guerre Abu Khaled, could be heard talking of "our objective" to the hijackers aboard the Achille Lauro. The conversation, with much static in the background, was somewhat cryptic, but at least seemed to indicate that Abu Khaled knew the hijackers personally. Said he: "Listen to me well. First...
