Shultz Denies Knowledge Of Illegal Iran Contra Funds
Secretary of State George P. Shultz testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee that he knew nothing of illegal diversion of profits from Iran arms sales to Nicaraguan rebels. He said his involvement was zero and stressed the need to reveal all facts to investigators while defending U.S. policy and urging continued support for the Contras. He acknowledged opposition to arming Iran and noted some sales material could not be discussed publicly, inviting a closed session for details.

Darkhorses Vie for Presidency in Odd Campaign History
The article recalls quirky 1980s and earlier write-in campaigns including a four legged coyote named Woofer D. Coyote nominated by Wyoming owner Mr. Hamburg. It notes filing rules allow anyone to seek the presidency, with the FEC delaying age and citizenship checks until a candidate is serious. It cites examples like A. M. Rosenthal and Rev. Willie G. Duke, plus a 1985 termination due to death, and mentions no statewide filings for 1988 or 1990 races, per Ohio election officials.
