Bomb Missed Gemayel. Infants Die in Beirut Car Bomb
A car bomb in east Beirut fails to kill rightist militia chief Beshir Gemayel but kills his infant daughter Maya and at least three others. The blast damaged ten cars and sent debris into a fifth-floor balcony near the Foreign Ministry as Gemayel’s Fiat passed a red BMW. Reports vary on total casualties with unofficial figures up to 15 dead and 50 injured. The attack comes amid ongoing clashes between Phalangists and rival factions while President Sarkis Sarkis and aides seek a national reconciliation plan ahead of meetings with factions.

Soviets Refuse to Print Watson Letter to Carter
UPI reports US ambassador Thomas Watson in Moscow had his letter to Lyteraturnaya Gazeta rejected by the Soviet magazine. Watson urged reprinting to ensure readers see all points of view as several American outlets published full Soviet statements. In Lebanon, Gemayel ordered a quick burial for his 18 month old daughter Maya after a car attack, calling for self control.
