Four months after the U.S. bombing raid against Tripoli and Benghazi on April 15, attention was suddenly focused again on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime. The Forrestal, during maneuvers with Egyptian warships, canceled a planned rest stop in Israel without explanation. Eighteen U.S. Air Force F-111 fighter-bombers flew into Britain, from where identical planes had bombed Tripoli last spring. Intelligence sources reported that Gaddafi has resumed plans to terrorize American citizens in Europe, and U.S. officials warned that he would be punished anew by air strikes...

It's not yet clear how far we have come, but optimism and hard work will surely dictate...
...plans to travel abroad this summer and in turn contributed to the increase in Summer School enrollment. Your title, however, indicates that you have unconsciously (perhaps) accepted as fact the Reagan administration's claim that the terrorist actions are all (or mostly) the result of a plot emanating from Tripoli. Actually, despite the constant assertions that the evidence linking Qaddafi to the various incidents is "incontrovertible," we the people of this country have yet to be presented with the slightest shred...
