...some trimming. At present it calls for as much as $650 million for Egypt and $250 million for Syria and Jordan in aid, plus approval of a $350 million air defense system for Jordan, most of which involves 14 batteries of Hawk surface-to-air missiles. The largest item is up to $2.2 billion for Israel. As Defense Minister Shimon Peres prepared to fly to Washington this week to complete negotiations, one of his aides joked that the shopping list would include "everything that begins with the letter a-a tank, a missile, a plane...
Though the main item on the agenda at Lima was the world economy, the conferees spent a great deal of time on politics, mostly with a decidedly anti-American cast.

Other Polish sports figures and a number of Polish general staff officers are also believed to have been arrested, including a track star, Marek Bedynski, a colonel and two majors...
...spinning wheels until he gets there. On Israel's part, at least, there is certainly a serious matter of timing involved. Israeli negotiators must decide whether it makes sense for them to accept any agreement prior to the convention of the U.N. General Assembly in September. One key item on the Assembly's agenda will be an Arab-sponsored move by the Third World bloc to suspend Israel from Assembly debates because of its refusal to obey U.N. resolutions ordering Jerusalem to surrender occupied Arab territory in return for secure borders. Many Israelis would prefer to await...
