Solution Wanted. But Begin is more interested in wooing Archaeologist-General Yigael Yadin's Democratic Movement for Change, which won 15 seats at the expense of the Labor alignment. Yadin, who wants the Foreign Minister's portfolio that Begin offered to Moshe Dayan (TIME, June 6), last week stressed that serious ideological differences still separate the D.M.C. and Likud: "They say there should be Israeli sovereignty between the sea and the River Jordan, and we say there should be territorial compromise for peace. The question is: What will happen within the next year or two?" On the West...
Howard runs a private investment portfolio-known as "a hedge fund"-that has earned more than 1,000% on its original investment in 1969. His firm's current assets: $20 million plus. Anyone who gave Howard $10,000 to invest then would have upwards of $100,000 today. But then, who would have trusted Marc Howard to handle a $2 bet?

In only one instance out of 47 did the Harvard Corporation...
...business in South Africa. The resolution of these issues, however, need not be accomplished through protest rallies and Mass. Hall takeovers, as Ratner implies. The ACSR was set up in 1972 for the very purpose of bringing student, faculty, and alumni views into the management of Harvard's portfolio. If students in recent years have failed to use the ACSR effectively, they have none but themselves to blame...
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...
