Fulfilling a pledge made on the 30th anniversary of Israel's founding, Jimmy Carter last year appointed a 34-member presidential commission on the Holocaust to develop a memorial in the U.S. to the 6 million victims of the Nazis' "final solution." Last week, as a first step in that effort, the commission toured the sites in Eastern Europe where the campaign of extermination of Jews took place in a search for historical material that could be included in American archives on the Holocaust...
...anniversary that passed without fanfares or triumphalism. May 23 marked the 30th birthday of the Federal Republic of Germany as a democratic country.

Commenting on the President's spifTy appearance in his admiral's uniform at an earlier ceremony in El Arish, Begin joshed: "Your wife must have fallen in love with you all over again." Begin gave Sadat a volume of sayings on peace by Jewish sages, printed...
...princely parties go, it was rather informal. "Tiaras will not be worn," stated the invitations to the Prince of Wales' 30th birthday ball at Buckingham Palace. As 350 well-connected guests looked on, Prince Charles danced expertly with the members of his favorite pop group, the Three Degrees. His Highness, of course, was inundated with gifts. Among the most unusual was a front-page column devoted to Charles in the London Sunday Times. Because the prince had once complained that newspapers tend to dwell on things that go wrong, the Times printed nothing but the week's good...
