Clark was irked by Enders' one-man show-and by his reluctance to pressure Congress for economic and military aid. He convinced Reagan, and U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick agreed, that a Central American policy review was needed.

Shultz and Clark cut a deal: in return for firing Enders, the Secretary of State would be given day-to-day control of Central American policymaking.

He was a hero for the way he held up under the tremendous pressure of the riots that he had caused. In 1966, Meredith bravely continued his crusade conducting a one-man march against racism across the state. Today, he has apparently fallen victim to all that pressure, forming a new "unification" religion and peddling it around the country. "I really believe I am a prophet," he said in an April interview with the Daily Californian, the student newspaper at the University...
