Diplomatic Correspondent Strobe Talbott experienced an ominous sense of déjà vu. He was with Libyan Strongman Muammar Gaddafi in 1979, when the signing of the Camp David accords was shown on television...
...South Carolina, who guided the confirmation vote from his position as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, gave a candlelit dinner in her honor at a Pakistani restaurant. In marked contrast to the spicy food in front of them, Nancy Thurmond, the Senator's wife, offered a dulcet toast to O'Connor as "the best thing to come down the pike since Girl Scout cookies." On Thursday, at a ceremony in the Rose Garden honoring federal district and appellate court judges and Supreme Court Justices, President Reagan beamed with pride.
