...invited Spain to join his recently proposed international commission to monitor Nicaragua's compliance with the peace plan.

Ortega then flew to Rome, where he had a 30-minute private audience with Pope John Paul II. It was the first meeting between the two men since the Pontiff's tense visit to Nicaragua in 1983, and the welcome was decidedly chilly. Speaking in Spanish, the Pope spent much of the time lecturing Ortega on the right of Nicaraguans to live under a "real democracy." Joked...
Running neck and neck with Gephardt are Michael Dukakis and Paul Simon. Dukakis, in particular, remains formidable with his no-fuss, no-muss campaign style.

Holding their fire. In Iowa last week, the Dick Gephardt camp was poised for battle as rumors spread that Paul Simon's team was about to run nasty TV spots. As it turned out, Simon rejected deployment of the negative ads. His aides, however, laughed about the Gephardt campaign's "paranoia." For the moment there is a tentative accord. Simon Campaign Director Brian Lunde got a call from Gephardt's chief, Bill Carrick, proposing a "no first use" agreement. Says Lunde: "Carrick offered that they wouldn't go negative if we didn...
