...investigators and reporters jostled for scraps of information about yet another apparent traitor, did anyone care that under the law Bloch was still presumed innocent? His case may indeed prove to be the most serious spy scandal to come out of the State Department since the Alger Hiss affair. But, wrote columnist Lars-Erik Nelson of the New York Daily News, Bloch "is also a U.S. citizen, entitled to due process before execution." Charles Schmitz, vice president of the American Foreign Service Association, said the baying after Bloch was "terrible either way -- for his rights if innocent, for the case...
White right wingers called Botha a "traitor" for sitting down with a man they consider a terrorist. White liberals felt confirmed in their belief that Mandela and his organization, the outlawed African National Congress, hold the key to successful negotiations between blacks and whites.

When Ochoa finally rose to speak, he denied none of the charges: consorting with international drug dealers, illicitly trafficking in everything from cocaine and diamonds to ivory and sugar, shaming the Cuban revolution with acts of high treason.

...sponsored by an unlikely pair: liberal Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and the archconservative Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah. Hatch has been vilified as a traitor by conservatives for supporting the bill, which Senate Republican leader Bob Dole denounces as a "money-eating bureaucratic sinkhole." He attacks ABC provisions that would encourage state governments to establish standards for day-care centers as an unwarranted intrusion by Washington. Hatch counters by insisting that conservatives should be as responsive as liberals to the needs of families. Says he: "Should we continue to ignore the problem just because some...
