Your cover story on Israel and Menachem Begin [May 30] was a disgrace. In the only democratic election in the Middle East, the people of Israel elected a man and his party to replace a corrupt, weak and scandal-ridden government-and TIME talks about Trouble in the Promised Land...
...accepting money from the KTA, with such obvious links to the corrupt and repressive Park regime, the University exhibits a drastic leap of faith. The acceptance of the grant should not be construed as an acceptance on the University's part of the policies of the Korean regime, nor should the grant create any pressure on members of the East Asian Research Center to alter their attitudes toward Korea. The money, detached from any outside pressures, could be a meaningful contribution to the furtherance of the Center's research, despite the dubious nature of its source...
...athlete may be shattered for good by the IRS investigation, and out of it all could come pressure for reform-perhaps in the shape of open pro-am competition in track and field.

Miller appears to be the front runner; Patterson, benefiting from a split in the reform vote between Miller and Patrick...
...state long known for tolerating corrupt officials,* the voters left a surprised politician dangling in the winds of change last week. Joseph J.C. DiCarlo was the odds-on favorite to win a Democratic primary for a seat in the Massachusetts senate-the very seat, indeed, that he had held before his colleagues threw him out only this April. The reason for the ousting was the conviction of DiCarlo, 41, and Republican State Senator Ronald MacKenzie on charges of squeezing $40,000 from a New York consulting firm in exchange for suppressing a legislative report criticizing the company's work...
