...Weizman, nephew of the first President of Israel, will probably be named Minister of Defense, succeeding Peres. Begin could decide to keep the Foreign Ministry portfolio himself?although he may offer it to Yadin, to attract support from the D.M.C. Simcha Erlich, 57, leader of the Liberal Party (one of the six that make up the Likud coalition), is a strong candidate to become Finance Minister. As his price for joining the coalition, Ariel Sharon would like to become chief of staff, a job now held by Lieut. General Mordecai Gur, a longtime ally of Moshe Dayan. Members...

Although freelance Mafiosi and other big-time criminals have operated in California since the heyday of Bugsy Siegel in the 1940s, the only important criminal clan was Jack Dragna's family in Los Angeles.

Manuel is one of the four Ballesteros brothers, all of whom followed in their uncle's footsteps by turning pro. The youngest brother is 19 year old Severiano, who finished in a tie for second with Jack Nicklaus in last year's British Open...
...devoted moviegoer, the nephew might have foreseen the all too predictable misadventures that beset him on his quest. His billion-dollar journey is a veritable clearance sale of Hollywood comedy-adventure clichés. He is conned, harassed, rolled, clumsily kidnaped, chased across the landscape, and jailed by a redneck sheriff. His putative protector in San Francisco, ripely played by Jackie Gleason, is in fact a devious executive who covets the conglomerate for himself. Gleason dispatches Valerie Perrine, as an implausible private eye, to wangle power of attorney out of Hill, but instead, of course, she falls in love with...
