Reagan approves a few appointments, mostly routine and obscure, and makes a few phone calls (last week to Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis on the air-controllers' strike, and to Philadelphia First Baseman Pete Rose on his breaking Stan Musial's National League record for total hits). That is about the extent of Reagan's workday...

Congressman Paul ("Pete") McCloskey five months ago predicted that Israel might well try to destroy the nuclear facilities of its Arab antagonists, like Iraq. The prophetic California Republican is also one of the few members of Congress-another is Republican Senator Charles Mathias of Maryland-who openly raises an uncomfortable question: Is American policy in the Middle East being unduly influenced by the ardent lobby of Israel's supporters...
