...open role of the Palestinians quickly caught the attention of neighboring Syria and Israel. Damascus is now known to be aiding the leftist Moslem forces there through its Saiqa fedayeen. Should Syrian assistance-or, less likely, outright intervention-threaten to tip the balance toward a Lebanon dominated by radical Arabs, the Israelis might respond with force because, said Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, such a situation would be "a real threat to Israel's security...
...always outright vicious. Sometimes he plays word games that totally baffle the eager young correspondents who want to know what the message of hissongsis or who the songs are about. He seems genuinely puzzled as to why anyone would be interested in his personal life, and he guards it jealously. "It was never my intention to become a big star," he says. "It happened, and there was nothing I could do about it. I tried to get rid of that burden for a long time. I eat and sleep, and you know, have the same problems anybody else does...
...that institution--the Federal Government--that New Yorkers quite correctly look for aid. President Ford, despite his foolhardy rhetoric, mistaken economics and quite un-Republican belief that welfare checks are more important than bond coupons, is not entirely misguided.

Macdonald and Trudeau chose the latter, partly to avoid the embarrassment of taking over the opposition's program completely...
...unnamed masked prostitute. TV Guide's condensed version: "From party girl to call girl. Scheduled guest: TV personality Pat Montandon and author of How To Be a Party Girl." Montandon sued, alleging that she had suffered "horrendously obscene phone calls, obscene letters and obscene objects in the mail." Outright strangers, she lamented, had asked whether she really had been a prostitute, and one man even asked how much she charged. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case and therefore let stand a California court's award to her of $151,000 in damages from...
