...Counsel Fred Fielding, that underworld informants had linked Donovan with known mobsters. In addition, FBI agents could have pursued other suggestive leads. They did not until months later, TIME has learned, because Mullen ordered his investigators to ease off Donovan, with what a top FBI official says was the tacit agreement of White House aides. Mullen, now acting director of the Drug Enforcement Administration, says the charges against Donovan were too "nebulous, way out" and "nonspecific." Thus, during the 1981 committee deliberations, according to a top FBI official, Mullen told subordinates: "We've reached the point where...
...Fairbanks, meanwhile, was still trying to find a solution to the latest hitch preventing resumption of the Palestinian autonomy talks. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has refused to participate in any negotiations held in Jerusalem, on the premise that his presence there would be interpreted in the Arab world as tacit recognition of Israel's annexation of Arab East Jerusalem. Fairbanks has proposed that Begin and Mubarak both travel to Washington for talks. Israeli officials indicated last week that they would have no objection to that-as long as the talks were also rotated to Jerusalem...
That happened last November. Previously, the Reagan Administration's cornerstone of its Mideast strategy (insofar as one could be divined) involved an all-out attack on Lybia's Muammar Qaddifi.

That--and his tacit ability to harm the careers of those who threatened to buck his will by revealing his extraordinary lobbying efforts through his backdoor to Congress and his ties with Roosevelt administrators...
...from the Sinai and the government's repressive treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Two weeks ago, the Begin government barely survived a no-confidence motion that ended in a 58-58 tie vote. But for a budget vote last week, Begin gained the tacit support of an opposition member, Mordechai Ben-Porat of the TELEM party. Then at midweek, the Knesset took a five-week recess for the Passover holiday. The government thus seemed to be secure until the Knesset meets again in early May, and by that time the politically sensitive withdrawal from...
