...small claims court. With that Donald Toner asked Attorney James Throwe to fight the claim-and Throwe simply released the story of the suit to the local papers. Embarrassed, Connecticut Governor Ella Grasso last week deplored the incident as "unfortunate and regrettable" and asked the department of transportation to withdraw the suit. As Mrs. Grasso observed, "There are circumstances when mercy tempers justice, and this is one." Reluctantly, the department complied-not out of any sense of mercy, its attorney explained, but because the suit was filed against Mrs. Toner rather than against her estate. Final score, as usual: Bureaucracy...
...harbor, a symbol of both celebration and precaution. For a time after independence, the French will continue to guard the republic's frontiers against aggression (the Somalian border is only ten miles from downtown Djibouti, Ethiopia a mere 50 miles away). But diplomats here speculate that France will withdraw entirely if a major struggle erupts over Djibouti, rather than risk involvement in a Red Sea war. Djibouti's domestic deterrent force-600 soldiers, 1,500 border guards and 1,000 gendarmes-is hardly able to handle an invasion. If one develops, Djiboutians might be best advised simply...

...chief political fixer, Hamilton Jordan, in charge of Jewish issues, invited key Senators to breakfast to discuss the Middle East. Vice President Walter Mondale was sent to San Francisco to deliver a foreign policy address on the Middle East, stressing the fact that Israel would not be asked to withdraw from its occupied territories until it was assured of "real peace." The President spent 40 minutes with visiting Israeli Rabbi Shlomo Goren. Carter told Goren that he did not expect Israel to return completely to its 1967 borders, that he did not seek an independent Palestinian state but one affiliated...
...majority of the holes are doglegs and the Bermuda grass rough has been treated with a growth-inducing acid that makes it almost impossible to extricate a stray shot. In fact, Hogan had to withdraw from the 1958 Open at Southern Hills after injuring his wrist while slashing out of the rough. The finely powdered sand in the bunkers also makes accuracy a necessity. Instead of rough quarry sand, the bunkers contain sand known as "Number Six Wash" extracted from the bottom of the Arkansas River...
