Sharon had intended to deliver his 20-minute opening statement in a public session as a way of demonstrating that, according to one of his aides, he had "nothing to hide." After that, he had planned to submit to questioning by the three-man panel behind closed doors. But the members, sensing the intensity of Israeli interest in the subject, ignored Sharon's repeated appeals for privacy and continued to interrogate him for 2½ hours. Only later in the day, when Sharon discussed such sensitive matters as the covert dealings between the Israeli government and the Lebanese Forces...
Bignone's tenure will be complicated by a gaping schism within the three-man military junta. The air force and navy dropped out of political decision making two weeks ago to protest the army's refusal to appoint a civilian as President. In a deliberate snub, Navy Admiral Jorge Isaac Anaya arrived at Bignone's inauguration only at the last minute. Air Force Chief Basilio Lami Dozo boycotted the ceremony altogether. Nonetheless, the army's enormous edge in manpower (130,000 troops) over the navy (36,000) and the air force (19,500) is likely...
Argentina's three-man ruling junta was riven over the choice of a new President to succeed Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri, the army general who was forced to resign after his troops surrendered to the British two weeks ago.

Montt took it as God's call in March that he leave the church school where he was academic director (TIME, April 5) and join the three-man junta that had been picked to run the country by the junior officers who ousted General Fernando Romeo Lucas Garcia. In an equally swift maneuver, Rios Montt last week fired the other two members of the junta, and expressing thanks to God for having put him in command, proclaimed himself President...
What started as a shoo-in has evolved into a tight, tough three-man race. The early leader was seven-term Congressman Barry Gold water Jr., 43, of Los Angeles, whose famous name has enormous appeal for the state's conservatives. BARRY GOLDWATER FOR THE U.S. SENATE, A TRADITION goes his slogan, and one TV spot shows him sitting on the Capitol steps with dad. Goldwater, however, now appears to be running neck and neck with Wilson and another seven-term Congressman, Paul (Pete) McCloskey of Menlo Park, near San Francisco. A Los Angeles Times poll released last week...
