Officially, the Israeli government defends the wisdom of its invasion of southern Lebanon. Premier Menachem Begin called the operation "a big political success" and declared that UNIFIL will become "a buffer force between Israel and the terrorists, and will force the terrorists to restrict their operations." Some of his colleagues disagree. At last week's Cabinet meeting, several ministers asked angry questions about Israel's use of American-made cluster bombs in Lebanon in violation of a 1976 commitment to the U.S. that the weapons would be used only against armies in the event of full-scale...
...defendants in their criminal acts or obstructing justice. Last year, after Schleyer's kidnaping, parliament enacted a "contact ban," permitting courts to cut off terrorist prisoners from all outside communication-including their lawyers under certain circumstances. Last week the Bundestag passed new antiterror rules that would further restrict the rights of defendants and their attorneys.

...many of these ideas will be accepted. Indeed, officials fear pending decisions may go the wrong way. The Administration, for example, may restrict imports of Citizens Band radios, which will push up prices. Postal workers are expected to demand a substantial pay increase when their contract expires in July; the Government may yield. Carter has refused to support a congressional move to roll back huge increases in Social Security taxes scheduled to start next year. And the President so far has tended to view regulatory decisions in an isolated, case-by-case way, rather than weighing their inflationary impact. Further...
