Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin bitterly proclaimed that "once again the cry is heard in the streets of Paris, 'Death to the Jews!' " deliberately stirring images of anti-Semitic incidents at the time of Jewish Army Officer Alfred Dreyfus' trial in the 1890s. Begin even indirectly accused President François Mitterrand of helping to create an anti-Semitic climate in France that fostered the attack. Begin charged that the massacre resulted from "the shocking talk and anti-Israeli incitement which has become like anti-Jewish incitement." The Prime Minister was referring to a remark by Mitterrand...
...dubs the "parch-belt": the water-poor states of the West and the Sunbelt. Milliken and other Great Lakes Governors fear that as the need for water grows in these areas during the coming decade, there will develop a prodigious national thirst for Great Lakes water. Wisconsin Governor Lee Dreyfus goes so far as to predict that Great Lakes states, along with Ontario, could become "the OPEC of water...
...Mackinac Island conferees agreed that rather than sell the water, a far better tactic would be to use it for their own industrial development, perhaps even to lure back some of the firms that have fled to dryer pastures.

WISCONSIN. A witty, flamboyant former college professor who won office in an upset four years ago, Lee Dreyfus, 55, decided not to run again even though he was the odds-on favorite for reelection. Dreyfus, whose trademark is a red vest, cited "personal reasons" and constant battles with the Democratic-controlled legislature for his departure from politics. Meanwhile, he promised to devote the final six months to "managing the state in tough economic times." Without Dreyfus in the race, Wisconsin seems ripe for a Democratic victory this year. Contending for the Democratic nomination are former State Legislator Anthony Earl...
