...career diplomat, as the new U.S. Ambassador to South Africa. At the same time, the President would issue an Executive Order, much like the one announced last year, imposing limited new sanctions against South Africa. Also in the planning stage was an African trip by Secretary of State George Shultz. Thus, through various efforts, the White House hoped to prevent the Senate from overriding the President's veto. Reagan is as opposed as ever to any kind of sanctions against South Africa. If pressed, he would accept some innocuous additional measures, like restrictions on new investment in companies that...

...books. He wants to be remembered as the tough realist who negotiated the most favorable arms-control bargain the U.S. ever won from the Soviets. He has been encouraged in this by Nancy Reagan, who wants her husband to be remembered as a peacemaker, and by pragmatic advisers like Shultz. So Reagan has opted for a trying-to-have-it-both-ways policy: demanding Daniloff's freedom while continuing to negotiate on an arms bargain and a summit. Though Soviet Foreign Ministry Spokesman Boris Pyadyshev expressed hope that the Daniloff affair could be settled "quietly," Gorbachev's nearly simultaneous comments...
