FALL DINING |
|
| |
I SPENT my summer, in case you were planning to ask, driving nearly two thousand miles in search of the best country inns within an hour's radius of Washington. I drove through roads shaded by apple trees, past cornfields, and by dozens of stands selling just-picked tomatoes and peaches. After long, cool green rides we would stretch and shake the city out of our hair, anticipating a taste of the American heartland.It wasn't there. The few restaurants which, in...

The discussions then expanded to full delegations on both sides, including Vance, presidential national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, chief presidential political adviser Hamilton Jordon, and others.What emerged officially was a statement carefully phrased to put the most favorable light on the U.S.-Israeli differences, with many ambiguities.

Begin's Inflexibility Seen as Bad Omen for Peace Efforts |
|
| |
The failure of negotiations to bring an influential centrist party into the next Israeli government can be seen as a setback both to the chances for a stable government here and to the hopes of the Carter administration for meaningful progress this year toward a Middle East peace settlement.The hardline tone of the negotiations was set by the leader of the right-wing Likud Party, Menachem Begin, and Begin's operating style and strongly held hawkish political beliefs may prove...

London finally got the money from the International Monetary Fund, but it took the intervention of the Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, to get the funds on terms that Britain's Labor government thought it could afford.Five months later, it now...
