Abstract

Minority Report

Hitchens, C. | September 19, 1988 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information related to the U.S. practical politics. Senator John Iselin, asks his evil wife plaintively if' she can't give him a definite figure for the number of Communists in the Defense Department. At first she is all impatience at his missing the point. Iselin's antagonist, the honest Senator Tom Jordan, invites sympathy when he claims to be a mere supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, not a Moscow-line dupe. Former national security advisers Richard Allen and Robert McFarlane have already admitted to meeting with Iranian officials in October 1980.
