...court's right to decide the U.S. Nicaraguan dispute; the central issue itself is not likely to be resolved any time soon. The Nicaraguans say that their documentation will be ready in three months. At that point, the U.S. has the right, as in any other lawsuit, to respond. But the procedure is an extremely protracted one. First there must be an exchange of written arguments, and then a series of hearings. The final verdict is not expected before the end of 1985. Moreover, the World Court has no power to enforce its rulings...

...significance rests not in the identify of the relevant celebrity but rather in the fact of the name itself; the name which motivates the narrator to reveal. Shyly and obliquely, his own story. We, the readers, are asked not to consider the veracity of these stories but simply to respond to the storyteller's appeal. "Now it's your turn to tell me what this is all about," asserts the narrator of the second story, which concerns the "Colonel Sanders" of tried chicken fame. Fragments of truth or even of speculation from the base around which the stories are built...
