(This policy was later reversed when President Carter appointed Max Cleland, himself a disabled vet, as head of Veteran Affairs.)

Despite his growing role in the Administration, he intends to stay in the background, acting as Carter's solidly dependable right hand on national policies. Says he: "I'm going to try and shape things...

In the beginning, they had cheered their government's decision to strike back against the Palestinian guerrillas and chase them to their northern sanctuaries. But by midweek, as United Nations peace-keeping forces began to arrive, it was clear that the Israeli incursion, while killing more than 2,000 Arab civilians, had not damaged the Palestine Liberation Organization's ability to wage guerrilla...
