At the same time, however, the Argentines hardened their position on mutual withdrawal. Meanwhile, the Thatcher government, stung by increasing "sellout" charges from Conservative Party backbenchers, stiffened its stance on the role of the islanders in the U.N.-sponsored transitional administration...
