The share of wages as a percentage of national income in industrialized countries has dropped to its lowest level in more than three decades while, conversely, the share of profits is at a record high. Laura D. Tyson, a former White House economist who teaches at the Haas Business School in Berkeley, California, worries that public feelings of injustice are fueling a growing backlash against globalization.

Lilac quit the NSC at the end of 1983 to work as a consultant for Prince Bandar, who is the Saudi Ambassador to Washington. Tyson left in March 1983 to work for Khashoggi. The tortuous trail left by both North and Secord, now a retired Air Force general, touches virtually every mysterious point of action in the entire Iran-contra affair...
