...Camp David agreement itself. The agreement so carefully worked out in 23 successive drafts had a number of gaps and ambiguities. Since several very touchy issues could not be resolved at Camp David, the three leaders agreed to postpone any decision on them. They also agreed to state their views in the form of letters, to be subsequently made public. But Begin wasted no time in setting forth his opinions in a series of televised appearances?not only his opinions on resolved issues but also his contrary view on a key issue that the other summit negotiators thought had actually...
...postponement of elections from December until next April would endanger Namibia's security, and the proposed increase from 3,000 to 7,500 U.N. peacekeeping troops to supervise the transition period and cease-fire had been decided upon without Pretoria's consultation. Both conditions, in South Africa's view, would favor the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO), the militant political group that has been engaged in a civil war with South Africa for the past twelve years...
Illicit and anonymous, afraid of the law, prostitutes are constantly driven into the underworld both as criminals and victims. Some civil libertarians believe that simply eliminating criminal sanctions against them would break the connection between prostitutes and crime.

...board's forecast assumes some temporary increase in unemployment next year?perhaps to 6.3% or 6.4% next summer, in Eckstein's view ?from last month's relatively cheering rate of 5.9%. Also, the slowdown will do little if anything to temper inflation, which is expected to average 8% this year as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Robert Nathan, who heads an economic consulting firm in Washington, thinks the rate may come down a point or so next year, but he is the board's optimist. Sprinkel believes inflation may actually worsen a little next year; the others...
...break" gamble. If so many businessmen refused to sign that the Government was forced to buy from non-pledgers?or, worse, if the Administration winked at violations as the price of avoiding crippling strikes?President Carter would lose all chance of winning wage-price restraint. In Okun's view, the risk in not adopting a tough guidelines policy is worse: negotiations next year in the construction, auto and trucking industries could result in a wage explosion that would push inflation firmly back to double-digit rates. Joseph Pechman, director of economic studies at the Brookings Institution, adds that the White...
