Secretary of State Warren Christopher became the first senior official to attack the Conoco deal in public after Iran abruptly disclosed it on March 6. He immediately denounced any transaction that put money into "the evil hand of Iran," but recused himself from involvement as soon as he learned his former law firm took the case. No one was more put out by the Administration's sudden get-tough attitude than Conoco's Nicandros. Rushing to Washington on March 10, he found his $1 billion contract with Iran under attack from all sides. Not only was Christopher loudly opposing...
That assessment about sums up the cynicism of Cock-a-doodle-doo. Unlike the hero of Robert Penn Warren's political classic, All the King's Men, Jack is for sale almost at once. Weiss tells much of his thirtysomething story through party scenes, and he easily passes a tricky test of fiction writing: displaying a sharp sense of when to start a sequence roiling, when to let his party sizzle and when to cut away from...
Traveling through the Middle East, U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher spoke of a "new burst of energy'' in the flagging peace process.

The company insists there is no problem: "Because we're completely offshore, we eliminate all that nonsense," Warren Eugene, the firm's 33-year-old president, told Bloomberg Business News. But others think things could get dicey once the FBI takes notice: "It's a fascinating question, and I'm sure it's against the law," says TIME technology writer Joshua Quittner. "But how do you prevent...
After some manic diplomatic footwork this morning in the Mideast, Secretary of State Warren Christopher declared that Israel and its longtime archrival, Syria, soon will resume peace talks in Washington that could lead to a binding treaty this year. "There were some difficulties," said Christopher, visibly tired after hours of last-minute, back-to-back meetings with Rabin in Jerusalem and Syrian President Hafez Assad in Damascus. TIME State Department correspondent J.F.O. McAllister, who is travelling with Christopher, says the hitch -- concerning the security arrangements for a possible Israeli withdrawal from the disputed Golan Heights -- arose from cold feet...
