...colleagues. At the Cabinet meeting at which Begin announced his plan to resign, Minister Without Portfolio Ariel Sharon, who, as Defense Minister, had been the chief architect of Israel's misadventure in Lebanon, attacked him for having "sold out" to the Americans. The redeployment, which the Israelis were anxious to carry out in order to reduce their casualties, started late last week, leaving behind it an inevitable power vacuum. The area being evacuated in the Chouf Mountains southeast of Beirut is shared by the Druze and Christians, who have been alternately allies and enemies for centuries. Anticipating the Israeli...
...Zionist heroes, Vladimir Jabotinsky and Theodor Herzl. Oddly, there was no photograph of Menachem Begin. Nor was the Prime Minister present as 950 members of the Herut Party gathered last week to elect his successor in a boisterous, eight-hour-long session.

...working TDRS is the key to the shuttle's next flight, ST59 (scheduled for Oct. 28). The system will be vital to the operation of the European-built Spacelab, a laboratory for ongoing space experiments to be borne aloft by STS-9.

U.P.I.'s longtime owners, the Scripps and Hearst newspaper chains, were anxious to sell; they were absorbing annual losses of up to $7.7 million. At times it seemed that newspapers kept buying U.P.I, just to maintain a competitor for A.P. (which draws 1,299 of the 1,704 U.S. dailies, vs. 629 for U.P.I.). Says Executive Editor David Lawrence of the Detroit Free Press...
Reagan is anxious to dispel the impression that he is insensitive to discrimination against women. At a Republican women's leadership forum in San Diego on Friday, he said: "All of us are interested in one goal: ensuring legal equity for women." He instructed the Justice Department to have specific recommendations for revisions to federal law on his desk by the time he returns from vacation next week...
