Sherry, a professor of literature at Trinity University in San Antonio, has yet to tackle Greene's Africa service with British intelligence, his marital breakup, love affairs, involvements with the movie business, anti-Americanism and friendships with left-wing Latin American leaders Fidel Castro and Omar Torrijos of Panama.

Hardly anyone would have noticed the ludicrous dispatch if the Administration hadn't publicized...
...President's most effective allies in the whole affair has been Jimmy Carter, and now it is the Noriega regime that evokes Teddy Roosevelt's memory to stir up fears that the Yanquis are coming. The Panamanian curse has yet to be lifted, both from the U.S. and from Panama itself...
