...economic policies have on other countries. West German Chancellor Kohl's predecessor, Helmut Schmidt, in an often quoted reflection on the eight summits he attended, said that "they did not bring about much, but what they avoided was of enormous importance." At every summit, for example, the seven leaders renew what amounts to a ritual vow to uphold free trade and shun any turn toward protectionism. Those vows are never perfectly kept; every country has in fact taken protectionist action.

Bereft, at least temporarily, of Washington financing, the guerrillas have been making little progress lately against the Sandinistas...
...visit from two of his supporters, Jordan's King Hussein and Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak. The two had been conferring in the Jordanian capital of Amman and decided, without advance notice, to fly to Baghdad for consultations. One of Mubarak's key objectives was to persuade Saddam to renew diplomatic relations with Egypt, which were severed in 1977 at a time when Egypt was making peace overtures toward Israel. He was not quite ready to take that step at the moment, Saddam told his visitors; what really mattered in inter-Arab ties, he said, was not "an official formula...
