...admitting they had criminal records, most of those held in Atlanta have since been found "excludable" by administrative law judges. The Carter Administration had begun to develop a plan to review the cases of all 1,800 and free those judged not dangerous, but the Reagan White House froze the releases so the matter could be studied further...

Bus passengers rose to their feet-as did people all across the nation. In stores, restaurants and offices, conversations stopped, forks were put down, typewriters and business machines hushed. It was Israel's Memorial Day. In the silent vigil, Israelis...
