...wall behind the stage in the Tel Aviv theater was decorated with huge Israeli flags, framing pictures of two Zionist heroes, Vladimir Jabotinsky and Theodor Herzl. Oddly, there was no photograph of Menachem Begin. Nor was the Prime Minister present as 950 members of the Herut Party gathered last week to elect his successor in a boisterous, eight-hour-long session. If the attention of an anxious nation had been riveted on Begin while he debated whether to resign, Israelis seemed determined, once that decision was made, to move into the new and uncertain post-Begin era without looking back...
...aims for the cover and the inside illustrations, Ramp chose Matt Mahurin, a graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., who has previously contributed drawings to the Op-Ed pages of the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.

This week's cover photographer, Gordon Munro, consulted Marge McDermott, a New York City talent agent for the carriage set, and told her exactly what he wanted: "A baby who seems to be almost newborn but is also beginning to look like everybody's idea of a baby. And I want...
...trouble attracting reporting talent: some 2,000 university graduates competed this spring for 38 jobs by taking Yomiuri's test. It includes history, civics and foreign languages (reporters must be fluent in at least one), and poses such journalistic problems as devising a story to fit a photograph. Jobs last until retirement; it is all but unthinkable for a Japanese reporter to shift to public relations. The glamorous style of travel helps compensate Yomiuri reporters for a modest salary (the average: $24,500). One aspect of working life that would displease most Western reporters: Yomiuri gives almost no bylines...
