...sharpest exchange centered on the legality of the Israeli settlements. Two weeks ago, Vance not only declared that the U.S. considered the settlements illegal and an obstacle to peace but also added that they "should not exist." Al though his comments reflected longstanding U.S. policy, Vance's words were a bit blunter than usual, and they made Begin see red. Summoning reporters, the Premier read what was surely the toughest official Israeli blast at Washington since Golda Meir rejected the Rogers peace plan eight years ago. The statement expressed "regret and protest" about the Vance remark, insisted that...
...issue has poisoned U.S.-Israeli relation's more than that of the settlements. The present misunderstanding apparently started last summer when State Department legal experts began giving some credence to Israeli arguments that settlements within existing army camps located on occupied territory are not illegal under Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention; it says that "the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies."

...still legal in Canada, and some U.S. orthopedists are referring their patients to medical centers there.

Ex-Husband Seth Gerchberg, it later developed, had remarried, liquidated his assets, obtained a passport and disappeared with the children. Since then Mrs. Downer and her second husband have spent $40,000 on a futile investigative legal odyssey that finally cost them their Pacific Palisades home and landed them on welfare. Increasingly disconsolate over having allowed the court-ordered Manhattan visit, Mrs. Downer now wonders: "Why was I so stupid as to obey...
...leads to disrespect for court orders and some spectacular snatches. After Pittsburgh Millionaire Seward Prosser Mellon and Wife Karen were divorced in 1974, a Pennsylvania court awarded custody of their two girls to Mellon. During a visit, however, their mother took the children to New York and later gained legal custody in a court there. Two years ago, three men employed by Mellon seized the two girls as they were on their way to a Brooklyn school, and the millionaire still has them...
