The ambassador to Ireland warns that a Christmas hunger strike by IRA prisoners in Maze and Armagh could trigger a new wave of violence in Northern Ireland. He cites Thatcher's stance, the IRA's funding shifts, and the risk of renewed bloodletting amid stalled peace efforts. AT&T reports a 12 month profit record of $6.04 billion.

Congress Faces Pay Raise Proposal for Top Officials
The Quadrennial Commission recommends a 40 percent salary boost for Congress members and top officials, raising lawmakers from 60,662 to 85,000 and expanding leadership, court, and vice presidential pay to 120,000. Senator Stevens backs the measure, arguing dual homes burdens justify higher pay amid rising costs.
