BEFORE 1980, a "hit list" was something only rival Mafia families worried about. But when the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC) adapted the concept to U.S. Senate races by targeting liberal Democrats for an onslaught of negative media advertising, "hit list" joined the American political lexicon for good. And the committee's sharpshooters hit their marks with stunning accuracy--NCPAC-backed conservatives handily defeated progressive stalwarts like George McGovern, Frank Church and Birch Bayh.

From 1974 to 1977, Peres was Defense Minister in the Cabinet of then Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, a bitter personal and professional rival.

Reagan's stance on Camp David was strongly endorsed last week by the chief architect of the Camp David pact, Jimmy Carter. The President took care to keep his defeated rival informed; Geoffrey Kemp, a Middle East specialist on the National Security Council, visited the former President's home in Plains, Ga., three times, beginning in June, to brief Carter on events in the region and the Administration's developing plans. The final visit was last Wednesday, when Kemp, accompanied by Deputy Secretary of State Walter Stoessel, outlined the proposals that Reagan was about to present...
