Callaghan's main accomplishment has been to turn the economy around, a feat that was aided by both the expected gush of North Sea oil and his success in holding the line on wages. According to Gallup, the electorate now believes that Labor can do a better job than the Conservatives in controlling inflation. Even such a stalwart establishment organ as the Financial Times praised Callaghan for giving Britain "almost as good a conservative government as we are likely...
Hammer, 42, is a founder of Gush Emunim (Group of the Faithful), the nationalistic religious organization that has pushed hard for the expansion of the Israeli settlements in captured Arab territory. Hammer acted after receiving complaints from two members of the Israel Broadcasting Authority's board of directors that the screening was untimely, given the negotiations under way with Egypt. But the unprecedented cancellation of a TV show prompted protests of censorship from a coalition of artists, authors, lawyers, Knesset members, journalists and TV technicians.

The group can easily turn out 10,000 people for demonstrations in support of settlements in the occupied areas. But finding 30 to 50 families who will form a nucleus...
...authoritarian godfather, and internal opposition is all but stilled. But Begin seems unable to contemplate surrendering any inch of land in the occupied territories where Israelis have settled, even when these footholds are clearly illegal. Last week his government stood by in silence as zealous Israeli nationalists of Gush Emunim (Band of the Faithful), under the protection of Israeli soldiers, established the cornerstone for a new settlement at Shiloh, 30 miles north of Jerusalem on the West Bank. Some Knesset members of Begin's own Likud coalition even took part in the ceremonies...
