...Supreme Soviet, who was ! taken into custody on Friday. During a session of the parliament earlier in the week devoted largely to finger pointing or to attempts by some members to convince others that they had nothing to do with the conspiracy, Lukyanov's voice was one of the shrillest. "I could never be a traitor to a man I've known for 40 years," he said, referring to his law-school classmate. Gorbachev obviously did not believe Lukyanov -- he refused even to acknowledge his old comrade when they passed in a corridor -- and others have fingered Lukyanov...
...shrillest of the Fundamentalist ideologues in Washington is the Rev. Tim LaHaye, 59, who moved to the capital from San Diego last year.

Uniformed generals made rare personal appearances on television, to talk about "the peace policy of the Communist Party." Soviet officials in Moscow, unusually attentive to Western journalists, argued that the missile build...
...Among the Democrats, the shrillest voices are not finding much of an echo. On the left, Fred Harris has all but dropped out; on the right, George Wallace is virtually eliminated. Challenged by Jimmy Carter in North Carolina and Florida, he has failed to win even in the South. Part of the change must be attributed to his health, but it also has to do with the new mood that no longer responds to Wallace's old appeal of discontent. Henry Jackson won in both Massachusetts and New York, but his pugnaciousness may not wear well nationally...
