A proverb images a quarrelsome wife as a constant dripping that vexes like rain. Restraining her is likened to holding back the wind or grasping oil, illustrating futility and frustration in dealing with persistent contention.
The Supreme Court struck down the legislative veto as unconstitutional, a move scholars say strengthens the constitutional checks and balances between Congress and the presidency. The piece argues that Congress often undermines executive power through one and two house vetoes, but the court ruling necessitates tighter, more precise laws and preserves the president’s independent authority.
The piece argues Chileans endured a decade of repression under Pinochet yet retained latent courage. It notes torture, exile, and a brutal regime while detailing the 1980 constitutional move and the 1989 power transition. Growing unrest shows the public’s demand for rule of law over force, with blame cast on Communists by the regime’s side.
Washington reports say Peace Corps Director Loret Ruppe stripped deputy director Edward Curran of all supervisory responsibilities amid White House pushback. Ruppe has clashed with Curran over agency policy, secrecy, andCurran’s past advocacy to abolish the NIE.
The piece argues Yuri Andropov's missteps as Soviet leader and former KGB head have unintentionally consolidated Western European resolve. It cites tougher U S relations, spurring Europe to resist easy fixes, while noting bungled moves toward influencing elections, Soviet submarine activity, and Bulgaria’s role in Pope assassination plots as factors shaping a more unified stance and renewed confidence across England, France, West Germany, and beyond.
Jack Anderson pieces together a tale of near confrontation in 1980 between the United States and the Soviet Union over Iran.
