After Arab youths stoned Israeli vehicles last month, Jewish militants from the settlement of Beit El outside Ramallah went on a window-smashing rampage through Arab towns, attacking cars and houses with stones and steel hammers. Tensions were inflamed further last week when Israeli military officers shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian in a schoolyard scuffle in the West Bank village of Anabta. After the funeral, angry villagers paraded through the streets waving Palestinian flags, chanting anti-Israeli slogans and throwing stones at army vehicles...

"The in-kind tax program is super," she says. "I couldn't hang onto the house if I couldn't work...
Undaunted by the long odds against him, Kennedy plunged into Pennsylvania for 14 days of nonstop campaigning, from the urban East to the rural center to the steel mills of the West. He hammered away at Carter for mishandling the economy and conducting an uncertain foreign policy. Both turned out to be telling issues on primary day. A New York Times-CBS News survey of voters as they left the polls showed that people who supported Kennedy ranked jobs and inflation as the most important issues.
