THE BARE FACTS SIMPLY DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY -- but it's all so complicated that you can't blame the newsmen for leaving out much that is necessary to understand what really happened in those five tumultuous days last week. Indeed, Lifeletter's own far-flung net­ work of sources and informants have been providing some conflicting information -- and very different interpretations -- throughout the whole drama. Herewith our own effort to sort it all out and provide a coherent picture of the new situation. •First off, while more time has been lost, the anti-abortion forces have not suffered any serious defeat (as Packwood &Co. are claiming): the showdown battle has yet to be joined. And if the filibuster "succeeded" (as we pointed out, stalling just before a recess is a pretty sure thing), it also demonstrated that a lot of strengths anti-aborts were counting on are there. E.g., Howard Baker was as good as his word: he tried to get the debate go­ ing Aug. 16 as promised; more, he worked hard to get the "unanimous consent" agreement that could have avoided the filibuster. And, when that failed, he was quick to move for that vital cloture vote. Nor was anybody much surprised that his efforts "failed": nobody ever expected Packwood not to filibuster if he thought he'd lose, and he obviously did think that last week. As pro-abort Columnist Beth Fallon put it while the battle was still on (see the New York Daily News, Aug. 20): "If Helms' opponents did have the votes, they would be glad to use them." The only "deal" Packwood would accept was to sidetrack the Helms bill entirely, in favor of a "free-standing" abortion debate during which he would have tried to shift the vote to Sen. Orrin Hatch's "Federalism" constitutional amendment, which he's sure does not have anything like the two-thirds majority needed for passage. And even then, if things had gone "wrong" he would simply have filibustered at the end, not the beginning, of the debate. So anti-aborts may have lost a tactical skir­ mish but won a strategic victory: i.e., if cloture does in fact become the first order of business in September, Packwood et~ could lose the war. •That is why the "school prayer" addition could turn out to be decisive. Helms evidently surprised many (and no doubt angered some) by joining the abortion-prayer efforts -- and, of course, if the strategy fails he'll get the blame. But nobody should have been sur­ prised. As Lifeletter has been reporting for months, Baker always promised a debate on both. By linking them, Helms may well have doubled his chances for winning on cloture, without jeopardizing the long-awaited up-or-down vote on abortion alone -- the roll-call that will tell the voters where their senators really stand. The scenario could go like this: when the Senate re-convenes, the vote will be on stopping Packwood's "current" fili­ buster; if successful -- and the chances will be maximized then -- the Senate will vote on abortion alone; if successful, the next vote would be on prayer and abortion, and it should be a) much easier to break a filibuster and b) easier to win as well.
