Some Israeli officials conceded last week that perhaps they have been misjudging U.S. policy for months. The shift, after all, has not been that sudden. Because Mrs. Meir was warmly welcomed when she visited the U.S. three months ago, Israel's public, basking in the glow, paid little attention to the fact that she returned from Washington virtually emptyhanded, or to Ambassador Rabin's warnings that relations were deteriorating.

...flower that adorns the marble entrance foyer, and a 9-ft. blue spruce upstairs that is trimmed with ornaments that the Nixons have used for years. The tree in the family quarters stands on a revolving base that plays Jingle Bells. Outside, for the first time, tiny white lights glow from the boxwoods that line the front driveway.

...became a Roman Catholic. His distressed father shipped him to Switzerland, and on Calvin's home ground the conversion was undone. "My temper is not very susceptible of enthusiasm," Gibbon wrote. Yet once Catholicism, which he had described as "a momentary glow of Enthusiasm," had faded, he rekindled the glow for a girl he met during his Swiss exile, Susanne Curchod, destined to be remembered as the mother of the writer and celebrated salon keeper, Mme. de Staël.

...unusual ability on the part of the audience to take the whole thing seriously. But the music is Mozart at his best, requiring only a great conductor and a great cast to do it justice. It gets just that. Colin Davis fans the music to a fierce, steady glow. Highpoints: George Shirley's rocketlike traversal of Fuor del mar-a crippling catalogue of coloratura devices -and Elettra's two arias sung by Pauline Tinsley, a British dramatic soprano whose voice has an electric radiance that recalls Ina Souez and Ljuba Welitsch at their best...
