Congress would not let Reagan off the hook. "We need to rethink exactly what we are doing in the Persian Gulf," said Republican Senate Leader Bob Dole, a candidate to succeed Reagan. "What are our goals? What is our strategy? What are the risks? And how much cost are we willing to pay?" Dole co-sponsored a resolution with Democrat Robert Byrd requiring that the , President present Congress with an analysis of those questions. Said Byrd: "I believe that it is appropriate to ask the Administration to provide the Congress with a full report before we implement any agreement with...

Although guarded about an agenda for his new job, Shapiro, who will be Princeton's first Jewish...
Botha's Nationalists now hold a commanding 126 seats, and all pollsters and experts predict they will retain their majority. But Botha is aged, and the struggle to succeed him is expected to start soon after the election. Professor Sampie Terreblanche estimates that the "enlightened" wing of the party amounts to about 30% and the reactionary right wing to another 30%, with the remaining 40% spread out between. The winner must face new elections in 1989, and that clash may generate major changes, new alignments, even a new party...
