...summit. Like Sadat, Begin has a strong sense of the theatrical, and his distinctive style is one of his major assets. To the public, his famed Old World courtliness seems to be a refreshing contrast to the casual, open-shirt informality of the Labor governments. The Premier is rarely seen in public without a jacket and tie, usually bows to the Israeli flag (no other Premier did this) and is scrupulously polite to his staff.

"I've seen so much illness and suffering," he once said, "why inflict more? My job is to make people grin a bit and see the joke...
...movie will play have already racked up $320,000 in advance ticket sales?more than three times the previous record. Said a theater spokesman: "It's easier to get knightedm than buy Star Wars tickets." "I've been in this business for 45 years, and I've never seen anything like it," says John Fairbairn, the film's publicity director. "It's an eruption...
