...action, Prime Minister Menachem Begin blasted the U.S. decision as "amazing!" Nor was he in any mood to try to sweeten the atmosphere by making some concession that might get the stalled Palestinian autonomy talks under way again. On the contrary, in yet another action certain to arouse Arab ire, Israel last week announced that it would proceed with the building of six more Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank...
...seeds of Banisadr's conflict with the orthodox mullahs were sown in the Assembly of Experts. Banisadr, as a ranking member, tried to modify the sweeping powers of the faqih, the supreme theologian who heads the government. That drew the ire of orthodox Muslims, who suspected Banisadr of trying to undercut the clergy.

The doings at Vincennes stirred conservative ire, and the French government made political capital by announcing that it would move the Vincennes campus this June. Resistance came from students and Vincennes President Merlin, who has struggled long and manfully against the school's drug problems and the politicization of the campus...
...freely around the prison and make unmonitored outside telephone calls. In the company of a guard, they can venture off prison grounds to cover a story. While naturally sympathetic to inmates' positions, the Angolite is not a reflexive advocate. Not long ago, for example, the magazine raised inmate ire by publishing an editorial criticizing a prison-reform advocate. An associate warden reads the magazine before it goes to press, but mainly for journalistic quality. Not a single story has been killed in Rideau's four years as editor...
