...aims of party reform was to change the character of the convention itself, to abolish the smoke-filled room and cynically staged yahooery. A certain puritanism lies behind the new rules-all of which must be approved by the delegates. Floor parades with hired bands and conscripted enthusiasts are forbidden. Nominating and seconding speeches for each candidate will be limited to a total of 15 minutes-or so the rules optimistically provide.

In the farming village of Metulla, which has lost two men killed and five wounded in fedayeen attacks from Lebanon, Mayor Assaf Frankel wistfully said: "I hope it doesn't start all over again." His eyes show that he does not have much hope...
...committee's recommendations: OUTSIDE INCOME. The committee proposed that a judge be forbidden to serve as a director, adviser or employee of any private business. He could manage his own investments, but only in a way that would "minimize the number of cases in which he might have to disqualify himself." He may not act as an executor, or in any other capacity, for the estate of anyone except a member of his immediate family.
