...first the world learned of the unraveling scheme was just before Jacobsen's release, when Al Shiraa (The Sailboat Mast), a weekly magazine published in Muslim West Beirut, ran a sensational article reporting that the U.S. had been sending spare parts and ammunition for jet fighters to Iran. The magazine further said that McFarlane and four companions had visited Tehran in early September, stayed at the Independence (formerly Hilton) Hotel and met with a variety of officials from the Iranian Foreign Ministry, parliament and army, who supposedly asked for more military equipment. Shortly after the visit, said Al Shiraa...
...Executive Office Building next door to the White House. They house a select band of globe- trotting staffers of the National Security Council, the executive agency that coordinates U.S. defense and foreign-affairs activities. Known for its bravado and love of derring-do, the small group conceived and ran the secret talks with Iran.

For these reasons he faces a spirited challenge from J.

A secret ballot will be held by the Democratic caucus next week...
Giant Allied Stores never ran such an ad and never planned to sell itself off -- certainly not to a Canadian real estate company. But last week, after resisting for two months, New York City-based Allied (1985 sales: $4.1 billion) agreed to become a subsidiary of Toronto's comparatively tiny Campeau Corp.

While Allied executives were a bit stunned, Campeau's chairman, Robert Campeau, was unabashedly delighted. "It's the best deal I've ever made...
