Premier Menachem Begin; he has already "legalized" three existing settlements and approved the creation of three new ones. Carter said at the press conference that he had received "private assurances" that Israel did not intend its settlements as a sign of permanent occupation. Even many of the Israeli politicians who oppose Begin, however, are taking a harder line. Said former Premier Golda Meir: "The boundaries of this country have always been drawn-not by declarations, talk, lofty speeches and rhetoric-but by people willing to settle the land and work...
Beame's plight had quite a bit to do with that of New York City itself. Last week the city's near ruinous finances -and the part that Beame played in their creation-came crashing back in on the mayor. The cause: publication of a damning 731-page report by the Securities and Exchange Commission on the debacle. The report charged Beame, other top municipal officials, some major commercial banks and Wall Street institutions with misleading the public in order to sell about $4 billion in short-term notes between October 1974 and March 1975.

Paroled, Fonda sets out to claim credit and royalties for his creation, and is falsely accused of wounding the thief in a scuffle over the matter. He then falls in with Tina (Susan Saint James), who has learned most of the music business's sharper angles as an underpaid back-up singer and who dreams up a neatly ironic scheme...
...attacking the basic problem of job creation, the first sound step is to recognize that the Government cannot and should not try to do it all. Given the public's dismay with inflation and high taxes, there is nothing close to the political consensus that would be needed to support liberal cries for massive job programs or a "Marshall Plan for the cities." Despite some successes, Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty is too well remembered as one in which benefits often trickled up to the so-called poverticians?the programmers, social workers and suppliers to the needy.
