Regarding Iran, the big worry is no longer Iran. It’s the Special Review Board. What will it uncover about the NSC role in other sectors (not Nicaragua)? Ollie North, it will be seen, has been plying several clandestine looms over the past few years. You thought Frank Church was tough on covert activities? Wait till these capers unfold.

After six years of being out in the cold, Democrats are at last showing signs of understanding America’s mood and desires. Trading on Reagan’s “feelgood” Zeitgeist, Dems have joined that national ethos to the standard GOP strong defense policy, tossed in some demographics and economics, and come up with a back-to-the-future alternative to both voluntary military service and conscription. The Democratic Leadership Council, that vagrantly conservative rump group of the Democratic National Committee, has called for an exploration of ask-not-what-your-country-can-do-for-you options under the rubric of “national service.”
