Key Facts

The government of Nicaragua release 985 political prisoners in a show of compliance with a Central American peace plan.
Both days cold but beautifully clear—the view from our windows spectacular. Did my radio broadcast Sat. on the Deficit. For once the usual Dem. rebuttal—endorsed what I was saying.
Sun. continued the homework that occupied my Sat. afternoon—The written questions the Independent Council sent on Iran-Contra plus written answers provided by A. B. Culvahouse & staff. I’ve gone thru them—added a few items but for most part they were accurate. Then some letter writing.
Sun. Nite—to Kennedy Center for our refusniks piano concert. Vladimir Feltsman—2 hrs. It was magnificent, he took curtain calls several times & encores for an audience that just wouldn’t stop clapping. Our guests were the Laxalts, Michels, Chris Buckley & wife & Helen Hayes.
