...Prime Minister's aide-de-camp, Lieut. Colonel Azriel Nevo, to pass along an American diplomat's report of trouble in the refugee camps. Last week Nevo testified that, "as far as I can remember," he had not even talked with Bar-On that Friday. Asked Kahan: "BarOn did not speak with you that evening?" Replied Nevo: "Did not speak. He says that he called me at my home, but I was not there." Pressed Kahan: "There was no conversation, either about the camps or about any other subject?" Said Nevo: "No, no." Begin had told the commission...
...Hazel Park Lounge and Bowl is full. The men's Monday-night bowling league has arrived. The cars bear testimony to hard times. In the '70s, the boom years, those cars would have been new. Now only an occasional '82 Buick Regal or Chrysler Le Baron gleams hopefully among older Coupe de Villes, Torinos and Caprice Classics.

Over the years, Gray's opponents have reportedly called the slow-speaking but fast-moving Georgian a robber baron, a buzzard, Dracula, Jack the Ripper and King Kong. Few of his takeover thrusts have been thwarted, however...
...most obvious match-up was Freelance Photographer Baron Wolman, who shot the opening photo of the Coast Guard light station at Point Sur in California. Last year Wolman, who has his own Cessna, published California from the Air: The Golden Coast. He knew Point Sur well and says, "I fell in love with it again." Photographer Steve Liss had a less aesthetic vista at Bucks Harbor, Me.: a surplus airbase. After checking every conceivable camera angle on the ground, he concluded reluctantly that he, like Wolman, would have to fly. "I'm petrified of planes," says Liss, "especially small...
