Reasonable Bets. C. Douglas Dillon, John Kennedy's Secretary of the Treasury and an Under Secretary of State under Eisenhower, was thought to be a favorite for Secretary of State. David Rockefeller, head of the Chase Manhattan Bank, and Arthur Burns, a chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Ike, were both reasonable bets for Secretary of the Treasury. Republican National Chairman Ray Bliss may become Postmaster General, which would let Nixon put his own man atop the G.O.P. apparatus. Michigan's Governor George Romney or Pennsylvania's Governor Raymond Shafer could be named Secretary...
...lift of a very different nature-strictly nonpolitical-should be buoying Nixon in the near future. The new First Family announced last week that Julie Nixon and Ike's grandson, David Eisenhower, will be married Dec. 22 in Norman Vincent Peale's Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan...
Last week, 25 years after the bloody landing, retired Marine Corps General David M.

And once again, the result, which ABC has scheduled for Thanksgiving night, is a rare, lyrical hour for television...
...rather than religion is at the core of Israel's Jewishness. While many Israelis accept Shalit's arguments, a formal cleavage between religion and state would doubtless destroy the coalition of secular and Orthodox Jews that has governed Israel since 1948. When the Cabinet of former Premier David Ben-Gurion attempted to accept Jews simply by their own affirmation in 1958, the resulting controversy nearly destroyed his government. Already one of the leaders of Israel's National Religious Party has warned that any decision in the case that violates Halakha will bring about the party...
