...around the globe. It was a year in which death finally pried loose Leonid Brezhnev's frozen grip on the Soviet Union, and Yuri Andropov, the cold-eyed ex-chief of the KGB, took command. It was a year in which Israel's truculent Prime Minister Menachem Begin completely redrew the power map of the Middle East by invading neighboring Lebanon and smashing the Palestinian guerrilla forces there. The military campaign was a success, but all the world looked with dismay at the thunder of Israeli bombs on Beirut's civilians and at the massacres in the Palestinian refugee camps...
WEST. California picked up two new seats as a result of redistricting, increasing its congressional delegation to 45, the largest in the nation.

Said an amazed career official at OMB: "We've been lucky in the past if our Director even read all of the budget before it went to the printer. In this case, Stockman wrote it." Now the OMB Director is emerging from his self-imposed isolation. Last week he made...
...cooperation came in recent weeks, when some residents decided they weren't quite happy with the deal that had been struck. Instead of hemming and hawing and saying plans couldn't be changed--as the University had in other not-so-distant confrontations with the city--Harvard's planners redrew their design to leave two historic houses standing...
