Below, a catamaran emblazoned with the Schlitz brand name cruises by, followed by a fleet of sailboards that extol SALEM SPIRIT. At one of the 380 or so hotels that line the 23 miles of beach, John Bradley, 22, a recent Cornell graduate, is conducting poolside tug-of-war and trivia contests sponsored by Camel cigarettes while half a dozen pretty assistants distribute T shirts, hats and other souvenirs...
General Barrow drafted his angry letter just as Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir and his Lebanese counterpart, Elie Salem, visited Washington for intensive negotiations with Secretary of State George Shultz.
