...President received Time Inc. Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald, TIME Managing Editor Ray Cave and Chief of Correspondents Richard Duncan for the first interview he has granted a U.S. publication since the suicidal bombing of the Marine headquarters in Beirut last October. He insisted that Syrian forces will not withdraw from Lebanon until asked to do so by a new Lebanese government of reconciliation (which, of course, would have to be dominated by Syria). He clearly still wants American involvement in the region, though mostly to restrain Israel. His recent success does not seem to have made him any more...
...especially pleased by Mitterrand's foreign policy. A staunch advocate of the Atlantic Alliance, the French President strongly supported the deployment of new U.S. missiles on European soil. He contributed 2,000 men to the Multi-National Force in Beirut (the last to depart, the French plan to withdraw this week) and dispatched some 3,000 troops to halt a Libyan-backed rebellion in Chad.

Thus, the political floor work would hopefully collapse from underneath d'Aubuisson before the entire country blew up, the latter being the most likely outcome...
...Lebanese Forces militia went so far last week as to threaten to ignore the results of the Lausanne meeting if they were deemed unsatisfactory. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, another kind of territorial split for Lebanon was under consideration. By the terms of the May 17 agreement, Israel was bound to withdraw its 22,000 troops from southern Lebanon provided that Syria, with 62,000 troops on Lebanese soil, did likewise. Now the Israeli Cabinet is apparently considering withdrawal of the troops only from their current defensive line at the Awali River to new positions on the Zahrani River, about seven miles...
