...Security increase. But anxious Congressmen and Senators feel they cannot wait until the bill reaches the floor of the House, probably by June. Last week O'Neill urged the White House to take the initiative in rolling back the Social Security tax boost. Said he: "They had better move, because if they don't, Congress will." Afterward, Presidential Aide Stuart Eizenstat asked the Treasury Department to submit a list of alternative revenue sources to Carter this week. Said a Treasury official: "The issue is in his lap now. It would be foolish to ignore the obvious political signs...
Once again, troops were on the move in the Middle East?and this time, right in the middle of peace negotiations. All one night and through the next day last week, tanks, artillery and ammo carriers rumbled into position along Israel's mountainous border with Lebanon, a jagged 62-mile line that runs from the Mediterranean to the foothills of Mount Herman. Within 48 hours the Israeli forces, some 10,000 in all, were ready to move, and missile boats were poised to strike at Lebanese ports. Then, after a 24-hour delay caused by rain and heavy clouds...

It does suggest, though, that perhaps the best way to capitalize on the momentum left over from Egyptian President Sadat's "sacred mission" is to move towards an Egyptian-Israeli accord. With prospects for successful negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians so bleak, such an accord is the best that can be hoped for at the moment. Egypt, so isolated in the Arab world already, would isolate itself some more; Israel would turn over various occupied...
