...agreement broke down over the issue of exactly what would be permitted under the ABM treaty during those ten years. The U.S. interpretation of the treaty is that research, development and testing of new technologies--just about everything short of actual deployment--are allowed under the treaty. But there is dispute on this point, and the Administration has said in the past that it will abide by what it calls a "strict" interpretation of the pact, one that permits research but not full-scale development of new systems...
...buildings that house the headquarters of Right-Wing Extremist Lyndon LaRouche. In Quincy, Mass., seven FBI agents entered a branch office of Caucus Distributors Inc., a LaRouche-run company, and seized documents. Later the same day a federal grand jury in Boston handed up a 117-count indictment charging ten defendants with obstruction of justice and more than $1 million in credit-card fraud related to fund raising for LaRouche's 1984 presidential campaign. Six of the indicted LaRouche followers were subsequently arrested in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia...
After making a ten-minute statement, Hasenfus was abruptly led away without answering reporters' questions. Still, his dramatic story only increased the volume of official denials that the U.S. Government had any connection whatsoever with the downed supply plane--or with Hasenfus. But Hasenfus' allegations posed disturbing questions about the Administration's relationship with private organizations that have reportedly been funding supplies for the contra rebels since Congress cut off aid in 1984.

Hasenfus said he and Cooper had both flown missions in Southeast Asia for Air America, a CIA-owned carrier, during the Viet Nam era. Since June, Hasenfus claimed, he had flown on ten missions, four from Aguacate, a contra base in Honduras, and six from Ilopango. He said he was paid $3,000 a month to work as a "kicker," the crewman who pushes cargo bales out of flying airplanes. Logbooks and other documents found in the wreckage of the C-123K showed that...
...have the Syrians. Damascus mounted a vigorous campaign last week to distance itself from terrorist attacks in the Mediterranean and Western Europe, most recently in Paris, where a wave of bombings last month left ten people dead and more than 160 injured. In an interview with TIME (see following story), Syrian President Hafez Assad denied that Syria had anything to do with the attempted bombing of the El Al jetliner and charged that Hindawi's actions were part of an Israeli plot to discredit Damascus. The farfetched theme was echoed by Loutof Haydar, Syria's Ambassador to Britain, whom Hindawi...
