Still pending before McGuire are several pre-trial motions by the defense, including one to dismiss the indictment and another to re-summons a pre-jury panel...
...Indians intend to go into federal court this week to reply to the New York eviction suit and are expected to file a motion to dismiss, arguing that the issue should be decided in "an international forum or by diplomatic negotiations between the U.S. and the Six Nations." The office of New York Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz would then file an answer, and a hearing date would be set.

But he has also gained credit for being an able administrator and tactician, not to mention his striking speed-reading ability. Six months ago, Arab leaders tended to dismiss him as a weak and probably transitional figure; today they are not so sure. In Israel, most political observers now predict a long premiership for him-a remarkable accomplishment, considering the many problems he faces and the vulnerability of his original coalition...
