The Bahamas, says a source close to the government, tried to dissuade the U.S. from naming Hecht as Ambassador, but now that he has been selected "there ain't nothing much you can do, just grin and bear it." And although Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke went out of his way to praise nominee Sembler, his choice of words was less than stirring.
