Panelist Regula Herzog, a research scientist at the institute of Gerontology and institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, addressed the problems again women confront. She said that menopause is "an over studied and overemphasized issue because people have historically linked menopause to witchcraft. Herzog explained that there are many more aspects of a woman's aging than hormonal changes...
Peres was expected to ask President Chaim Herzog last Sunday for a three-week extension of Labor's mandate to build a government. Peres is likely to spend this week trying to patch together a narrow coalition with the religious parties. His Likud rivals are confident that the effort will fail, forcing Peres to bargain more seriously with Shamir over getting together, finally, in a national unity government. That may be rough going, since several of Peres' Labor colleagues oppose an alliance with Likud. As last week's exchanges between Labor and Likud proved, a government...
Labor Party Leader Shimon Peres was a man of two minds last week, after President Chaim Herzog charged him with the task of forming a new government. Peres had to decide whether to join forces with outgoing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, leader of the Likud bloc, in a broad, bipartisan coalition, or try to build a narrower alliance of his own by enticing some of the 13 smaller parties.

Shamir and Peres had opened their negotiations at Herzog's urging. Said the President: "People from all strata of the public are appealing to me to initiate a national unity government."

Peres said he felt that "the entire nation wants a national unity government established, and it is our judgment to respond to the will of the people." Shamir said he recognized the "special need" for such a move. However, many political...
After Peres had been tapped by Herzog, he promised to form "a government as wide as possible, a unified government." Still, he could abandon efforts to negotiate with Shamir and seek to scrape together a parliamentary majority of his own. The two major parties remain deeply divided on a host of issues, from Lebanon to settlement policy in the West Bank. But there are pressing troubles that cannot wait until the tangled election results are finally sorted out. The Bank of Israel announced last week that during July the government had been forced to pump an unprecedented $360 million into...
