...recent Nicaraguan military buildup should surprise only the naive. By not discouraging the training of counter revolutionaries on American soil, the Administration has done little to assuage Nicaraguan fears of a U.S. sponsored invasion.

Xanthippe plays a succubus, sleeps with every man in the administration, and the city returns to chaos...
