...Spokesmen for department stores such as Filene's, Bradlees, Lechmere Sales and Zayres said they will definitely open on Sundays if the bill is signed into law, but Howard Davis, general manager of the Harvard Coop, said yesterday the Coop has no plans for Sunday hours at this time...
Arab friends of the P.L.O. explain away the bewildering variations in its spokesmen's positions partly as a word game and partly as a form of psychological warfare in response to Israeli statements on the Middle East.

White House spokesmen later conceded that they expected no swift Soviet response to Carter's statement. His objective, they let it be known, was simply to get on the U.N. record a position that his Administration has always espoused: its eagerness to eliminate the means to wage nuclear war.

...Carter guilty of unnecessary roughness in dealing with Jerusalem? Administration spokesmen insist that the sharp Israeli reaction to the U.S.-Soviet statement did not mean the U.S. miscalculated in its strategy to stimulate a solution. Instead, they say, the problem lies in Israeli perceptions of diplomatic realities. Says one senior official: "They became hysterical. They read into that statement things that were never there." "It's the Holocaust mentality," said a White House aide. "If we're not behind them 300%, they think we're against them...
