European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 18, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Paga 10 columns t William saf1re the stars and stripes Friday december 18, 19b7 Hart has discombobulated the political world so when Are Yiu going to Dux Hack in i Asi cd Gary Hurt on nov. 2, seven weeks ago. You link i should 1" he countered answering u question Mih a question As my Brooklyn  used to do or had colled to say or was briefly in Washington and liked a piece 1 had writ ten on the nil import fee. Which he had been proposing fur years. I asked him to lunch at a restaurant called appropriately. Gary my Previn univ experience with a politician universally pronounced finished led me to consider the possibility of a comeback by Gary Hart perhaps As a Secretary of state or defense in a future democratic administration. I replied to his non reply with the Standard admonition that i had gone out of the advice Dodge but added that if he did choose re entry he could expect to have a few tiles knocked Oft his heat shield it was common knowledge that several news organizations arc poised to clobber him with More stuff about extra marital affairs if he tried to Rise again. He winced a Little and allowed As How a hypothetical re entry would require a wholly unconventional Campaign. No staff no fund raising no party endorse ments just a Lone candidate appealing directly to the people Over the Heads of the commentators party leaders poll sters Morali ices and pop psychiatrists. It struck him that the Only peo ple who had not yet offered a judgment on him were the voters. He seemed concerned about the effect of resuming his Campaign on innocent people but was less concerned about his ability to Over ride that Issue in a comeback Campaign. The impression he left was thai he was eager to get Back in the race but would defer a decision until Early next year. If the democrats were floundering and none of his themes were emerging then maybe. That was not enough on which to lag a speculative column but enough to suggest that the democratic primary Campaign had not yet taken final shape. Senator Hart moved up his timetable and has now discombobulated the Politi Cal world flood for him. My respect for Gary Hart is greater now that he has challenged the Media to do their worst while he does his Best. He is too dovish for my taste on Nicaragua and his Lone opposition to Star wars is a minus though he carefully expressed Carl Rowan distributed by King features Syndicate support for research on the strategic de sense initiative in his Public to commentary on she recent Summit. Bui he is the Only democratic Candi Date with both an articulated world View and a detailed position on Domestic policy. If permitted to discuss these larger issues Hart will Cut through the present aimless bickering and Force the others to he much More specific. What sort of Hart Campaign can we expect deliciously different. Forget Iowa thai is a caucus state pit Ling committed organizations against each other. He is Likely to drop in in arc to say hello and will do better than expected Only because of his household name he owes Donna Rice something. In new Hampshire however rank and Filc democrats can make their Choice by secret ballot. That s the stale where an underdog Hart upset a favored Mondale there is at least a Chance that the new underdog Hart will upset the favored Dukakis and Simon. Tiie trick for Hart will be to exploit his Maverick City. He should not even have a press Secretary let the Media find him on the Trail. He should forget about a finance committee let his wife and family collect the million dollars now owed his Campaign by the Federal election commission. He should Tell questioners to leap in the Lake when they Badger him with the big a and every Lime a supposed old flame pops up re Mark blandly that he Hopes he can count on her support. Am i secretly pleased because this new candidacy damages democratic chances no the revived Hart Campaign injects new excitement into the democratic race and dashes Only the dream of Mario Cuomo to be chosen at a brokered convention. The democratic convention will As Hart put it let the people de cide by choosing either Gary Hart or the Man who beat Gary Hart in the Pri  m pleased not so secretly because i Admire the process thai admits the possibility of speedy political redemption. Gary Hart the newest Long Shoi May fail1 but like Teddy Roosevelt s Man in the Arena he would fail while daring or Cali so thai his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither Victory nor  a ctr h Turifi no a  scrap fhe missiles but Stop Politico atrocities too rarely have i Felt More sick of stomach in one week than when 1 Learned of the recent political massacres in Haiti in Zimbabwe in Mozambique. Haiti Long has been an unspeakable horror a Politi Cal cancer on the very1 Hcan of Mankind. But whoever could have imagined that efforts to hold the first meaningful elections of three decades would have been crushed by the gunfire of the ton Lons a comics. The dreaded killers who protected the deposed dictator Jean Claude Duvalier the cold blooded murders in Haiti bring shame to All who Ever lifted a linger or wrote a Check to sustain any regime of this wretched Caribbean country. But who can Fotus on Haiti people of conscience Are also outraged by a night of terror and political murder in Zimbabwe where 16 missionaries and their children were hacked to death by rebels opposed to the government of Robert Mugabe rebels armed and supported by South Africa. This is the worst most terrifying massacre we be Ever seen said one zimbabwean. This is quite bar  yet. In wretchedly poor and hungry Mozambique another massacre was taking place Blacks hired by the apartheid government of South Africa killing other Blacks. Why is there no International order that can Hall these bloody outrages these grotesque assaults upon every civilized instinct of Mankind where is the United nations that organization has been assailed by americans who say u in t Worth a Damn and in truth it won t be Worth a Damn until it has the authority to intervene when death squads Are killing people in Guatemala. Government goons Are murdering people in Uganda. Argentina s government condones the kidnapping and killing of thousands of children. Government assassins of Chile Libya and other countries Are murdering people in countries around the world. The United nations is impotent and always will be because Strong nations however malevolent will hide behind claims of National  the . Might have a ghost of a Chance of forcing haitians to Stop their murders but who is foolish enough to believe the . Can Tell the soviet Union what it May not do in Afghanistan the , what it must not do in Nicaragua South Africa what killings it dare not finance in Mozambique Angola Zimbabwe and other Black african countries Only the . And the soviet Union can halt this madness and it May be that they alone cannot Over ride the National propensities of militarily powerful countries such As Israel Syria. South Africa or even lesser nations such As Chile Guatemala Brazil but it would be a kiss on the troubled brow of Man kind if president Reagan and soviet Leader Gorbachev sat Down at their Summit and said aside from scrap Ping some missiles Lei s see what we can do to Hall these atrocities that have become a Way of life in Haiti Zimbabwe and so Many countries of the soviet bloc. After All. Man does not live by arms control treaties alone
