Carter Holds Back Endorsement Of Full Employment Bill
After meeting the congressional black caucus, President Carter shied from endorsing the Humphrey Hawkins bill while signaling a need to fix inflation. He may send adviser Schultze to Capitol Hill to push for a 5 percent goal, arguing inflation and unemployment tradeoffs are flawed. He urges restraint on money growth, curb spending, and possible permanent tax cuts to spur investment.

Creeping Annexation Threatens Middle East Peace
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak warn that Prime Minister Begin's expansion in the West Bank, aided by a withdrawn U.S. stance under President Carter, risks a broader war and strained ties with American Jewish leaders. They cite settlement legalization and reduced U.S. pressure as fueling a dangerous shift toward lasting occupation.

Dayan peace plan faces criticism in Washington
The Israeli proposal to withdraw from Sinai and the Golan while keeping the West Bank is rejected as unrealistic. It envisions Palestinian autonomy, land sales for Jews, and possible return of refugees, with debate over international control and Palestinian representation delaying any Middle East dialogue. The State Department insists Palestinians must be represented and range of parties must converge in Geneva talks. The administration leans toward a unified Arab delegation including Palestinians, contingent on Israel’s right to exist.

Lance affair fuels Washington snake pit portrayal
Charles Bartlett Lance is cast as a casualty in a sprawling Watergate era narrative. The piece argues the Lance case reveals a toxic, leak-driven culture where high figures are dragged from power, with Percys and others faulted for political theater. It condemns partisan theatrics while urging cleaner oversight.
