...will not be made public for a month. But a summary just released of the Federal Reserve's October session reveals that the committee agreed on a "slightly lesser degree of restraint." Wall Street experts doubt, however, that the Fed will push down interest rates substantially. Says Stephen Roach, senior economist at the Morgan Stanley investment firm: "My feeling is that the Fed will maintain a wait-and-see attitude through the rest of the year...

Yuk it up, guys... if you think Cuba or Nicaragua is next, your CIA and Army buddies will find themselves stuck in a roach motel ("they'll check in but they won't check out"). To be sure, the spectacle of "rescued" U.S. medical students kissing American soil made better press for Reagan than the nightly newscasts of mangled bodies of over 200 dead Marines in Beirut. But after all the flag-waving has died...
