...government or party work to Begin. It is about the survival of a people. He recently listed the five most important things he had accomplished as Prime Minister. They were: 1) the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor, 2) the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, 3) the annexation of the Golan Heights, 4) Project Renewal, a nationwide slum rehabilitation program, and 5) the establishment of more Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza...

The United States, meanwhile, set forth no clear foreign policy other than that of threatening renewed American military might, with which we will presumably recapture the world...
...dozen official selections are shown, film buffs file in at 1 in the morning for Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's rendering of Wagner's Parsifal. Nearly five hours later they stagger out into the dawn's hazy light, exhausted and exhilarated. In midafternoon, Menahem Golan, the Israeli producer who now heads his own distribution company, sits on a teeming Carlton terrace flanked by Stalin-era-size posters of his stars: Faye Dunaway, Robert Mitchum, Brooke Shields, Lou Ferrigno.
