Critics of wide-scale testing, however, pointed out that screening 43,000 federal prisoners, 1.4 million patients a year in Veterans Administration hospitals and thousands of foreigners who annually flood immigration offices would present enormous logistical problems. Such large-scale testing is unlikely to achieve results commensurate with the huge price...
...emanating from Washington last week over the issue of U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf were decidedly mixed. Press reports described a U.S. contingency plan to launch a pre-emptive strike against the Chinese- built Silkworm missiles that Iran is installing along the Strait of Hormuz.

"Let's face it," mused one dedicated partisan about the last year of the Reagan Revolution, "not many people are going to be interested after the first vote." That comes in Iowa Feb. 8, 1988, just eight months away. The nation...
