Before the terrorist attack, Begin had been having domestic problems of his own, stemming largely from the very issue that has most upset Carter: the Israeli settlements policy. As he arrived in Washington, Defense Minister Weizman got word that Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon had ordered work started on two new settlements on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River in defiance of Weizman's order that they be stopped. In a heated call to Jerusalem, Weizman pleaded with Begin to halt work on the settlements until after the Premier's own Washington trip. "If only one tractor...
...France's parliamentary election campaign wound up last week, the candidates virtually scoured the thick French lexicon of political hyperbole. In a fire-and-brimstone attack on Premier Raymond Barre's anti-inflation policies, Communist Party Chief Georges Marchais declared in a Paris speech: "If I believed in God, I would promise hell for anyone who believes in austerity."

These range from kicks, bites or punches to murderous assaults with knives and other deadly weapons. Says University of Rhode Island Sociologist Richard Gelles, another student of domestic combat: "Men and women have always been equal victims in family violence. Fifty percent of the killings...
...true. McLuhan covered some of the same terrain and saw it was good. Mander hollers that it is horrible. But he punches so wildly that he arouses sympathy for The Gong Show. No source is too doubtful or irrelevant to cite, provided it can somehow be mobilized into an attack on the target. "It is known," Mander states ominously, "that light affects the testicular growth of sparrows." The author writes with such urgency that simple distinctions get trampled: "As you may have noticed, a lot of people seem to be going crazy these days. People are shooting each other...
