There is between the partners now the usual portion of blame and bitterness and confusion. All the clarity comes in Richard's music. He sings: "It's so hard to find/ Who's going to cure/ The Heart of a Man in Need." Linda sings: "It's only the pain/ That's keeping you sane/ And gives you the mind to travel on." And together...

...shipments to Argentina before its soldiers occupied the Falklands on April 2. Now, though, Washington believes that an early resumption of military aid to the enemy of a major U.S. ally like Britain would be unseemly. U.S. officials also fear that weapons shipments to Argentina could destabilize the southern portion of Latin America, where Argentina is embroiled in a longstanding territorial dispute with Chile, another country under a U.S. arms embargo. Argentina hopes the U.S. will pressure Britain to negotiate the question of Falklands sovereignty. But the U.S. is standing pat, unwilling to ask Margaret Thatcher to make a politically...
