...federal control and regulation of the economy. Says he: "If you want the Government off your back, get your hand out of the Government's pocket." Handsome, lean and angular, Hart received a bachelor's degree from the Yale Divinity School, plus a Yale law degree. The role that brought him political attention, if not success, was directing Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign in 1972. Today he is gaining favor in the Senate. Says conservative Senator Barry Goldwater of Hart: "You can disagree with him politically, but I have never met a man who is more honest and more...
...right of judicial appeal, and to impel the displaced tribesmen to resettle into new industrial townships. The Bedouins have raised their small minority voice in protest, even vowing that blood will be spilled before the controversy is over, but thus far to no avail.

The Bedouins also charge that the proposed law is based on outright "racism" because it is aimed exclusively at Arabs. The Bedouins have a case: last week Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon began long and detailed negotiations to compensate...
...settlements have yet to be built, and the government has no plans for temporary housing. Shrugs Benjamin Gur-Arieh, Premier Menachem Begin's adviser on Arab affairs: "They can double up in their tents until the villages are ready. They're used to it." Opposition to the law is gathering force in the Knesset, but critics of the government are more concerned about the Bedouins' inability to appeal than about the terms of compensation. Says Begin's former adviser on Arab affairs, Shmuel Toledano: "The law is on the side of the government, and justice...
