Begin accuses Schmidt of needlessly criticising Israel

He condemns Schmidt for statements on Palestinian self determination and vows not to retract a word. Rights and timing are tied to Israel's Independence Day observance.

Atlanta reward may fail to spur leads in 26 slayings
Investigators question a 500000 reward fund, bolstered by Muhammad Ali's 400000 donation, to solve the July 1979 to date killings of 26 Black youths in Atlanta. Private sleuth Chet Dettlinger says even 100000 did not prompt tips, warning payout rules may prevent any collection. The search also targets missing 10 year old Darren Glass.
