...wrong is obvious, the ways to right it are not. Senator Malcolm Wallop of Wyoming, among others, strongly objected to the $20,000 payments: "Honor doesn't come with a dollar sign on it, and you don't buy it back." The objection is disingenuous, since Wallop thinks there is nothing to apologize for. It is also wrongheaded. Under the American system of tort law, wrongful harm is routinely acknowledged with cash payments.

Last week Bob Dole called the INF treaty a "watershed accomplishment." He also said he did not foresee "any amendment that...
...Reagan, he fumed, "is a very weak man with a strong wife and a strong staff. He has become a useful idiot for Soviet propaganda." Dole and other Republican Senators also lashed back: Dole chided the President in the White House, while on the Senate floor Wyoming's Malcolm Wallop called Reagan's remarks "offensive...
