There was another mild embarrassment for both Kissinger and Rabin last week when the Chicago Sun-Times printed excerpts from a forthcoming book by Israeli Journalist Matti Golan-a nonpracticing lawyer who has served seven years as diplomatic correspondent for the Hebrew-language daily Ha'aretz. The book, tentatively titled From Confrontation to Disengagement, purportedly draws on Kissinger's private conversations with newsmen and on secret minutes of his meeting with Israeli leaders.

...status 14 times as tests continued. In 1971, however, a Russian study linked cancer to Red No. 2, and consumerists in the U.S. stepped up pressure on the FDA to ban the dye.
