Oliver North will be back. Despite the fact that the star witness of the Iran-Contra hearings has dropped out of sight to contend with legal problems arising from the ongoing investigation by Special Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh, it is extremely shortsighted by some in Congress and the media to write him off as a flash in the pan. The "North for President" T-shirts have disappeared and the hoopla has subsided, but that is just as well. Such things only trivialized him and are hardly measures of his true durability as a public figure. The same personal magnetism, oratorical flair, and compelling convictions that catapulted him into the national spotlight in July will still be there when he is ready to resurface. North has charisma. Moreover, he has important things to say.
For exam...
. . .
...North's detractors - hope that Reagan will pardon him and spare the nation the turmoil that would surely ensue.
Depending on the outcome of the special counsel's investigation, some see North as a potential future senator, an evangelist, or even a writer and television commentator. Whatever path he chooses, one thing is certain: We haven't heard the last of Ollie North. Not by a long shot.
