Liberal PACs lag in fundraising against rising Right
In Our Opinion examines liberal PACs struggling to raise money against a financially stronger Right. By midyear none of five new liberal groups cleared $500,000, while two conservative PACs exceeded $2 million.

Oman seeks more arms amid perceived Soviet threats, with strategic Strait of Hormuz transit and a small navy of five gunboats and two support ships.

Reagan foreign policy lacks balance and coherence
Reagan pursues a pragmatic, fragmented foreign policy driven by advisers rather than the president. Despite blunt signals to the Soviet Union, the Middle East and Africa see no cohesive peace strategy while military aid and arms deals test his credibility. Carter and Ford urge dialogue with the PLO and a balanced pursuit of peace, human rights, and nonproliferation.
