...announcement of the arms agreement prompted Israeli Premier Menachem Begin to voice reservations about "the quantity and quality of these arms." He seemed especially concerned about the F-15s. The Israelis clearly feared that such advanced weaponry could be used against them should Sadat ever be ousted from power and Egypt revert to an anti-Israeli stance...
...Israelis are correct in thinking that Jimmy Carter is determined to make headway this year on the Palestinian issue. "There is a countdown to May," says an aide to Israeli Premier Menachem Begin.

The F.F.A. has a suspicious habit of cutting choices to fit names in the news; Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat shared top honors, although Co-Peacemaker Menachem Begin was considered too rumpled. This year's 40th annual roll showed a unique alteration: title of the world's best dressed man was awarded to Pope John Paul II, who is into cassocks, capes and red pontifical hats and shoes, rather than business suits and dinner jackets.
