Whatever, the fact is that not since the turn of the century have bald eagles nested in Massachusetts, and there is no sign they soon will. In June, two six-week-old eaglets from Michigan's Upper Peninsula were imported by Massachusetts wildlife authorities as part of a program to reintroduce the species to the Bay State. When they were placed in cages atop a 21-ft. tower, all went well-at first. Ross (the purported male) took to soaring like, well, an eagle as soon as he was released...

Having returned the final third of the Sinai Peninsula to Egyptian control, the government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin was showing that it had no intention of ever agreeing to a similar withdrawal from the other Arab territories occupied since 1967. "Israel has now reached the red line of its concessions," declared Sharon. Begin, whose government announced last week that...
