Summary
One in this series of nightly news programs. Anchor Ted Koppel interviews former president Jimmy Carter, who discusses the following topics, among others: Secretary of State George Shultz's demand that the State Department become involved in future dealings with Iran; the contrast between the way President Ronald Reagan gave weapons to Iran in exchange for hostages, and Carter's method of dealing with the Iran hostage situation; the fate of captured pilot Eugene Hasenfus in Nicuragua; the practice of private interest groups funding the Contras; the excitement and confusion attending arms reduction talks between Reagan and Gorbachev in Reykjavik; the U.S. role of defending European allies with nuclear weapons; Reagan's spontaneous style of diplomacy, as compared to Carter's more deliberate sensibility; and the vague chain of command in the Reagan White House.
