...recent "tilt" toward the Arabs (TIME, June 27). In the last several weeks about 1,000 letters a week urging stronger support for Israel have poured into the White House. Important Senators have chimed in on the same theme. Two weeks ago, when he got a phone call from White House Aide Hamilton Jordan, Rabbi Schindler began to discern a change in mood. Says he: "Then I knew that the question of American-Israeli relations had become a serious political matter, and they weren't treating us as if we were part of a foreign relations department. Carter...
...peace agreement the Arabs would have to give Israel full diplomatic recognition, including provisions for trade and tourism (which the Arabs have always rejected in the past). His Administration, Carter added, will not draw a map setting boundaries. But to banish some of the Jewish fears about his call for a homeland for the Palestinians, he said that such a haven would have to be a part of Jordan; he did not favor a separate Palestinian state, which could be a threat to peace.

A mass march of union members and strike sympathizers is scheduled for this week. Arthur Scargill, arrested by police last month when he appeared at Grunwick, promises that 3,000 members of his Yorkshire miners' union will participate in the demonstration...
...organizations in American society are endowed with such a complement of criminals, confidence men, rogues and ruffians as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. And nowhere within that fraternity was rapacity more apparent than in the management-most people would call it mismanagement-of the union's $1.4 billion Central States, Southeast and Southwest pension fund. Under the guidance of both icy Jimmy Hoffa and shuffling Frank Fitzsimmons, trustees treated the fund as a pot of honey to be ladled liberally to friends and acquaintances. Now, after a two-year investigation by the Department of Labor and a threat...
