Probably the greatest irritant in the Washington-Jerusalem relationship is Begin's refusal to admit that U.N. Resolution 242 applies to the West Bank, that hilly desert area that he calls part of the Jews' homeland by "natural and eternal right." The hope was that when he came to power, he would recognize the historic necessity of giving up the West Bank with its 692,000 Palestinian in habitants. A year later, observers wondered whether even such an optimist as U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis any longer held out hope that Begin will change. Israel's leader truly...
...applications to the U.C. DavisMedical School were rejected in 1973 and 1974, will at last be among the new faces on that campus in September. For Bakke, who submitted no further medical school applications after receiving 11 rejections in 1974, the Supreme Court's 5-4 order that Davis admit him was clearly a victory. The effect the decision will have on a broad variety of affirmative action policies across the country, however, is somewhat less clear...
...discount important information pertaining to Bakke's application. Bakke was, after all, rejected from ten other schools, two of which sent letters informing him that his age was a "serious factor" in determining his case.

For example, Western experts wonder whether the Warsaw Pact states will admit to having 950,000 ground troops in Central Europe. Instead, they may continue to insist that they have only 805,000 soldiers and thus are already near parity with the West. Notes a U.S. analyst involved in the Vienna talks: "We and the Soviets disagree thoroughly on manpower data. Until we get a data base agreement, there's no breakthrough." Moscow...
Sowetans, as a result, are understandably skeptical about such grandiose schemes. Nonetheless, some of them admit that Prime Minister John Vorster's government is belatedly admitting that urban blacks have claims to a permanent role within so-called "white" South Africa. Thus, at least, some accomplishments have been realized as a result of the riots of '76. Says Lutheran Bishop Manas Buthelezi, who lives in Soweto: "Until 1976, politics was something you went into. All of a sudden, politics came to where you were-your husband was detained, your sister or brother was shot, your house was razed...
