En route, Deaver denounced as "ridiculous" estimates that the Caribbean trip had cost the taxpayers $5 million, but gave no figure of his own. The White House does estimate that more...

So important is the confrontation that Schmidt has threatened to resign if the S.P.D. does not support his policy on nuclear defense. Though it appears unlikely that he will have to do so, the five-day debate may further undermine Schmidt's authority at home and abroad...
