...Ailing Prime Minister Menachem Begin, who said that he and Dayan "parted in friendship and warmth," planned to take over the Foreign Ministry himself, at least for the time being. (A logical replacement, Deputy Prime Minister Yigael Yadin, is in the hospital after suffering a heart attack.) But Dayan's departure is a sharp blow to the whole political future of the Begin regime. Opposition Leader Shimon Peres immediately called for Begin himself to resign and hold new elections.

Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, long famous for sitting coatless through a heavy frost when prime-time television commitments are at stake, proved that he was equally up to the challenge in a mid-autumn monsoon. Rain fell before or during each of the first three games, and temperatures were in the numbing 30s and low 40s, but Kuhn came sans coat and umbrella one night.
