...President and argued against strictly enforcing the sanctions. His case was clear, reasonable and forceful. "But he did not present it as the end of the free world as we know it, as Haig would have," says one of the President's senior advisers. Shultz achieved a partial success by getting the Administration to mute its retaliation against European allies who have defied the sanctions; only two companies have been hit with punitive measures so far, allowing the dispute to remain a manageable family quarrel.

Only 35 minutes after the Borodine set sail, the U.S. Commerce Department placed the two French companies involved in the compressor sale on a "temporary denials" list, a partial commercial boycott that prohibits them from buying any U.S. goods, services or technology.

Since the military crackdown in Poland is still in effect and European allies are squawking about U.S. opposition to helping build the Soviet natural gas pipeline, Reagan could hardly strike a long-term grain...
Trend setters Comfortable with the opposite sex and partial to high fashion, the ranking socialities insist on an appearance of casualness while they grind it out just like the rest of them. They shake hands and peck cheeks with studied grace. Sometimes sleep together, and always talk about it within earshot of their elders...
