...public truce, though, did little to mask sharp differences between Regan and Feldstein or to ease fears that the Administration's economic policy is awry. Regan's ideas are very close to the President's original supply-side strategy, which was based on a strong reliance on the stimulative power of tax cuts. Regan believes that the growth generated by the President's tax-reduction program will boost Government revenues and take care of part of the deficit.

In Beirut, 45 miles to the south, an eight-week truce was frequently violated as "phantom artillerymen," presumably Druze, shelled predominantly Christian East Beirut and sporadically hit parts of the Muslim western quarters as well. The continuing peace negotiations among Lebanon...
