...visit to Israel. U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz was noticeably laconic in responding to the news of Begin's resignation. "I wish him well," said Shultz. "We'll deal with the new government when it appears." Enjoying the prerogatives of the elder statesman, former President Gerald Ford expressed the hope that Begin's successor would bring about "a bit more flexibility than has been exhibited by the Israeli government in the past." But even if Shamir's diplomatic experience makes him easier to deal with than the irascible Begin, U.S. officials do not expect...
...wishes. Others involved in the dispute, however, are not so acquiescent.

After President Ford lost the 1976 election, Penner joined the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative research organization in Washington, and became a leading expert on tax policy. Says David Stockman, the Reagan Administration's Budget Director: "Penner is the best available person for the job at CBO. He's experienced, knowledgeable and technically sound...
...mood and pace were allegro, but the program was strictly "Home Suite Home" for Composer-Conductor Leonard Bernstein, who marked his 65th year last week by returning to his birthplace in Lawrence, Mass. The big day began with a parade through the middle of town in a 1928 antique Ford, and went on to include a stop at the old family home (24 Juniper Street).
