...before the trial began. Late last week defense, prosecution and judge were locked in a quarrel over material that Sullivan may want to use right off the bat. He claims that secret documents show that Ronald Reagan and other members of his Administration -- among them Secretary of State George Shultz, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, CIA Director William Casey and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General John Vessey -- "personally and directly" took part in arranging deals to have other countries aid the Nicaraguan contras at a time when help from the U.S. was forbidden...
...days later, U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz sharply criticized Czechoslovakia for violating the terms of the conference "but one hour after the adoption of the concluding document." Chastened Czech authorities then allowed 1,500 people to hold a peaceful demonstration while state video cameras surreptitiously photographed participants.

Though public criticism of her hair, weight and wrinkles have hurt her, she has turned such remarks to her advantage. After her hair turned white in her early 30s, she began dyeing it "warm brown," although it was a nuisance for someone who swam frequently and shampooed every...
...last week's Paris conference, U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz met with his West German counterpart, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, and offered to provide a panel of West German officials with a full intelligence briefing in Washington. Perhaps seizing on that proposal as a diplomatic way to take a new tack, Genscher agreed not only to send such a delegation but also to tighten West Germany's notoriously loose regulations governing the export of potentially dangerous products, including chemicals. Two days later Bonn announced plans to increase the number of customer nations whose purchases are monitored and to impose more...
