...relations to her children and grandchildren, a history of good health, a job she loved and a congenial companion, she had seemed set for a happy old age. She summered on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, where she had three traditional saltbox houses side by side set on 350 beachfront acres, with two large ponds and a bird sanctuary. There she would quietly entertain old friends like the author William Styron and the influential Washington lawyer Vernon Jordan and Lady Bird Johnson. Each Labor Day weekend, Onassis would have all the Kennedys from Hyannis Port over for a picnic...
...hours, the Palestinian urchins scowling through the 20-ft.-high chain-link fence at Israeli soldiers and policemen held back their rain of stones. In a gesture calculated to show progress toward granting the Palestinians limited autonomy, the Israelis planned to hand the onetime Gaza City beachfront hotel-turned-police barracks over to P.L.O. representatives.

The interior is pure beachfront eclectic, crammed with mismatched furniture, bullhorns, rubber snakes, paintings of World War II flying aces, antique mirrors, numberless pieces of nautical kitsch. It's not only the campy charm, the soulful coffee or the cheap and un-California-ishly cholesterol-rich menu that keeps this dive jumping among the surfer and industry...
...agreement stipulates that Israel will begin turning over responsibility for the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area in the West Bank to the Palestinians by mid-November and complete the task within two months. The Gaza Strip is a well-defined beachfront rectangle of 140 sq. mi. But what, exactly, is the Jericho area? The municipal bounds of the city encompass only 10 sq. mi., but the Jericho district, as defined by Jordanian law that was in effect before Israel's 1967 conquest, comprises 146 sq. mi. The Palestinians want the autonomous zone to contain much of that territory, including...
