...last week's Cabinet session, the Premier, who has twice been hospitalized for a heart condition, conceded that "a month ago, I was very ill and could hardly function." He was as feisty as ever, though, at a stormy, seven-hour Knesset debate on foreign policy. The Premier's Likud-dominated coalition handily turned back a no-confidence motion introduced by the Labor Party by a vote of 70 to 35. But Israel's internal debate over its response to the Egyptian peace initiative continued.

Two sworn statements by former President Nixon released last week seemed to contradict sworn statements by Kissinger. The first Nixon contradiction came in a rambling, seven-hour deposition given at San Clemente last January in response to a $3 million suit filed by Morton H. Halperin, a former National Security Council staff member whose telephone was tapped for 21 months by the FBI beginning in May 1969. Nixon and Kissinger are among eight officials of the Nixon Administration being sued by Halperin. Nixon...
