That is true even though President Reagan's opposition to the freeze is total and outspoken. The President, along with many arms control and foreign policy experts, believes a freeze is possible only after negotiations with the Soviet Union achieve an actual arms reduction, to a level at which the U.S. would be in no way inferior in nuclear strength. But the White House has not insisted that Republican candidates openly support the Administration's position. John Dolinsky, a leader of Californians for a Strong America, one of the few groups fighting the freeze, complains that White House...
Lawyers for Hayle entered two preliminary motions challenging the validity of the whole process. One argues that the government has so far been guilty of "selective prosecution"--that only non-registrants who have been outspoken against the law have been pursued...

Though the cartoonist will be off from the beginning of next year through the fall...
DIED. Nahum Goldmann, 87, Zionist leader for nearly half a century and one of the most outspoken critics of Israeli policies, from Ben-Gurion's to Begin's; in Bad Reichenhall, West Germany. Co-founder and president of the World Jewish Congress from 1949 to 1977, Goldmann negotiated the 1952 reparations agreement with West Germany that resulted in payments of some $822 million to Israel and its Holocaust survivors. Goldmann repeatedly advocated peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Israelis, saying, "There can be no future for the Jewish state unless agreement is reached with the Arabs." And in July...
