Israeli Ambassador to Washington Simcha Dinitz flew down to the Virgin Islands last week, but not for the sunshine and sea breezes of Cancel Bay. Dinitz instead spent two days conferring secretly with vacationing Secretary of State Henry Kissinger about the status of Israeli-Egyptian negotiations over further disengagement in the Sinai. Dinitz capped those talks with follow-up meetings at the State Department, then flew home to Israel to attend a crucial weekend meeting of Premier Yitzhak Rabin's Cabinet.

...promises to do to crewed charters what Hertz did to chauffeured cars. This is bareboating -hiring a yacht without crew and sailing it yourself.

...slip of a colleen with a heart-shaped face. Her daughter Carrie Fisher, 18, is the madcap of the '70s, a dourly funny sophisticate. Debbie's big hit movie was the innocuous Tammy and the Bachelor, in which she played a professional teen-age virgin. Carrie has a hit flick too: Warren Beatty's Beverly Hills satire Shampoo. She also played a teen-ager-a nymphet who traps Beatty into...
