...hired conference room in a building near Capitol Hill. A surprising participant: Lyn Nofziger, until last January chief White House political adviser and a staunch Reagan loyalist. There, too, were three other estranged Administration officials: former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts, former Treasury Under Secretary Norman Ture and former Director of Policy Development Martin Anderson. Direct-Mail Mogul Richard Viguerie, publisher of the New Right Conservative Digest, and Conservative Caucus President Howard Phillips were probably the most thoroughly disenchanted erstwhile Reaganites. Neo-conservative Intellectual Irving Kristol came, as did PepsiCo Chairman Don Kendall and Richard Lesher, the dapper, steely...

Said Ture of his resignation, in an ironic reference to the problems of the U.S. economy as a whole: "My outgoings are greater than my income...
Nonetheless, TIME Diplomatic Correspondent Strobe Talbott reports from Moscow that the Soviets seem genuinely puzzled by the mix ture of disarmament proposals and harsh words coming out of Washington these days. They recognize that Reagan's many arms-control proposals mark considerable movement from his early days as President, but are worried that the U.S. may be advancing those ideas only to calm its European allies and the peace movement. Anatoli Dobrynin, the Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., is believed to be telling his Politburo colleagues that moderates and pragmatists, mostly in the State Department, are vying with implacable...
