...done better. In fact, he does better right here. Occasionally Jake drops without warning into a dream state: a wedding ceremony where he repeats a vow to love, honor and provide credit cards; a Saturday-morning vision of all the power mowers on the block coming together in a Busby Berkeley musical number. These sequences have an attacking spirit and a sheer joy in moviemaking that the rest of the enterprise desperately needs...
...impossible ever to heal the rift. Ask anyone what the country needs most, and the answer comes quick as a rifle's report: peace. But peace has many last names. President Jose Napoleon Duarte and his U.S. supporters declare that they want peace with democracy. The armed forces vow to accept only peace with national security. And the Marxist-led F.M.L.N. says its goal is peace with freedom from U.S. interference. A former government official despairs of ending the war.

"As long as there is breath in this body, I will speak and work, strive and struggle for the cause of the Nicaraguan freedom fighters." Specifically, Reagan pledged, he will fight for $270 million in renewed military and humanitarian aid to the contras to enable them to continue battling the Sandinista...
Meanwhile, Iranian officials continued to vow retribution for the U.S. attack on the ship Iran Ajr, whose crew was caught laying mines in Persian Gulf waters two weeks ago. Declared Parliament Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani: "It is sweeter for us to have a direct confrontation with the U.S. because we would be fighting with the root cause of the war." In the gulf, however, Iran avoided any confrontation with U.S. warships as the tanker war raged anew...
