Iranian officials initially could barely conceal their glee over the Reagan Administration's discomfort. Speaking to a group of government officials, Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini thanked them for causing what he sarcastically called "the great explosion that has occurred in Washington's Black House." More recently, however, Muslim fanatics have criticized government officials for agreeing to deal, however tentatively, with the "Great Satan." Last week a somewhat defensive President Seyed Ali Khamene'i accused the U.S. of using the arms deliveries and the involvement of Israel, officially an enemy of Iran's, in a campaign to "damage [our] reputation and dignity...
...arms shipments were a particularly galling slap in the face for Jordan's King Hussein, whose most recent attempt to buy U.S. weaponry was turned down by the Reagan Administration as politically too risky. Leaders of other moderate Arab states, who live in daily fear of the brand of radical Islamic fundamentalism that Iran is sworn to export, were appalled that Washington would consider giving so much as a bow and arrow to Tehran.

By day, he wrote this week's cover story...
...Senator spoke knowingly and graciously through dinner, but he did not even reveal what Colonel North was wearing. Nor will he. There is an iron discipline beneath the rounded Georgia verbs that Nunn uses so precisely. He is as stern a critic as any fellow Democrat of Ronald Reagan's performances these days, but he has not called on the President to fire anybody in the White House ("That's up to the President"). When asked by a reporter if Reagan's staff had been coaching the President to lie to the press and the American people, Nunn stopped...
