...Jeff Bell, perhaps the most avid proponent of Kemp-Roth, was beaten by former Basketball Star Bill Bradley, who proposed more modest tax cuts. Perry Duryea, the G.O.P. candidate for Governor of New York, promised to increase welfare grants and reduce taxes at the same time. The victorious incumbent, Hugh Carey, refrained from any such foolishness. In Arkansas, Bill Clinton, 32, was elected the nation's youngest Governor, even though he vowed to ask for a tax increase if a referendum reducing the state sales levy on food and drugs was approved...

Meanwhile, domestic political considerations prompted Carter to paper over his quarrel with Begin about the expansion of West Bank settlements. On the day the Premier was in New York to receive his award, Carter was there also, campaigning for Democratic Governor Hugh Carey. At first the White House said coldly that the two leaders had no plans to meet. Belatedly considering the impact of such a snub on the city's Jewish voters, the White House hastily scheduled a 20-minute session with Begin and his aides...
