Kashani was also instrumental in getting student delegations from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel to participate in a mock Mid-East summit. "If you talk to people at the Model U.N. they respect his ability to get things done, even if he does it exceedingly" said Grossman. For example, Kashani's security-consciousness was notorious. One IRC member described how at the high school U.N.s "he would charge around like a maniac all night," busting parties and confiscating alcohol. Saied closed off Ian Smith's speech to the Model U.N. even to the press. Kashani sometimes offered the Conservative Club...
Nakasone had hoped for a surge of support from his party's power brokers following the seven-nation economic summit in Tokyo last month to pave the way toward an unprecedented third term.

His vaunted friendship with President Reagan produced no progress on stabilizing the yen, which has risen more than 30% against the dollar since September, cutting into the competitiveness of Japanese exports.

The bigger question, of course, is what Dubinin's appointment portends for U.S.-Soviet relations. As Washington and the Kremlin dicker over when--and whether--to hold another summit meeting between Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Reagan, it cannot help that the old back channel to Moscow's Washington embassy has been shut down...
...would not, however, change how he has handled his accounts. Canada signed him up because it was impressed by how he helped manage the U.S. approach to the acid-rain problem. And that approach, says Deaver, was designed solely to get the President through the Ottawa summit in harmony with the Canadians. Strange thing, he notes. Everybody seems to love the acid-rain proposal, a public-private cleanup over five years. "You'd think the conservationists would be marching for me," Deaver laughed. "I haven't seen them...
