Israel to hold high level talks in Washington on Lebanon crisis
Israel plans a redeployment of troops in Lebanon amid fears of a de facto partition by Syrian and Israeli zones. Shamir and Arens may meet US Secretary of State Shultz and possibly President Reagan after a US push to hold talks, with Meridor calling the meeting imperative despite ongoing fighting between Falangist and Druse forces in the Shouf Mountains. The talks will proceed even if the redeployment continues.

Elephant scare at park near Los Angeles ends without freeway entry
An elephant wandered onto a field by the 405 Freeway near Los Angeles, triggering evacuations at a park swap meet. Traffic backed up but the animal stayed off the freeway, subdued by tranquilizers from a police helicopter and returned to its compound after about three hours. This followed two prior animal incidents at the same park involving a tiger and a chimpanzee, with the tiger incident leading to a $1 million suit.
