...champion in history demanded the ouster of World Chess Federation President Florencio Campomanes, who is up for re-election in 1986 and whom Kasparov accuses of favoring Karpov. The mandatory title defense "is perfectly illegal," said Kasparov in an interview in Le Figaro, "and I don't have to submit to Campomanes' dictatorship." Since capturing the world championship from Karpov in November, the feisty, flamboyant Kasparov has taken some time off to enjoy the beaches near his hometown of Baku in Azerbaijan. But last week's challenge to Campomanes, announced in Amsterdam, where Kasparov had played a match, looked like...
...network's bulwarks of integrity. Fred Friendly, Murrow's longtime associate, admits that "the relationship between Murrow and Stanton was strained" but asserts that the CBS president later became one of the news division's firmest defenders: "He was willing to go to prison rather than submit outtakes of [the CBS documentary] The Selling of the Pentagon.

Some Likud...

The House also retracted its demand for test moratorium; in return, Reagan promised to submit to the Senate for ratification two existing treaties that limit nuclear tests. Said Reagan of Congress's decision: "I'm delighted. Now we can go forward united...
LaRouche, 64, who called the raids a "dirty trick run as a media stunt," was not indicted. He frequently denies any knowledge of his organization's finances, and he recently agreed to pay a $202,000 judgment to NBC in a damage suit rather than submit to a probe of his personal wealth. Nevertheless, the indictment says LaRouche discussed the credit-card case last year, telling a subordinate, "Just keep stalling, stall and appeal, stall and appeal." At a detention hearing for two of the defendants last week, an FBI agent testified that LaRouche once reportedly said of a prosecutor...
