...diplomatic coup earned political points for Jackson (see following story) and raised hopes for a settlement in Lebanon that would allow the Reagan Administration gracefully to withdraw the 1,800 U.S. Marines from Beirut. Making no mention of its own 40,000 soldiers in eastern Lebanon, the Syrian government said its gesture should prompt Washington "to end its military involvement in Lebanon." Though Reagan remained opposed to a U.S. pullout now, he did send a thank-you message to Assad saying that "this is an opportune moment to put all the issues on the table...
Reagan may send this report to Congress in January. It will mention that the Soviets are operating a large radar base in Siberia that the U.S. suspects will be used to guide the kind of antiballistic missiles that have been banned under the SALT I-ABM treaty and will question Moscow's compliance with important parts of SALT II as well.

When Hobby ran for Lieutenant Governor in 1972, the Post published four Page One editorials supporting him during the Democratic primary, yet never mentioned his connection with the paper...
...Louis' evidence to the contrary? I think not. He indicates that Israel is involved with South Africa's Bureau of State Security, a "Gestapo-like" organization. However, his only evidence is that, "In 1973, the head of South Africa's Bureau of State Security visited Israel." There is no mention of the nature of the visit: Louis also weaves a three-paragraph spy novel about Israeli involvement in a nuclear test explosion off the coast of South Africa. Similarly, his tone piece of evidence is that an Israeli nuclear scientist visited Israel on the day following the explosion. Once again...
