President Reagan said that Goodman's release, after Rev.

However, the gap be- tween the poor has im- proved significantly in the last 10 years. However, the gap between the poor and the affluent has widened. The paper said 150,000 Israelis get along on wages that are only 20 percent of what is considered a minimum living wage. Maariv's analyst stated that the poor could have all the necessities if they stick to a strict budget and not try to emulate the righ by pur- chasing luxury items. Syrian Pull-Out? 28585 Telegraph Rd. Across From Tel-Twelve Mall Southfield, Mich. TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Is- raeli Chief of Staff Gen. Moshe Levy claimed in a re- cent interview that Syria is as anxious as Israel to with- draw from Lebanon, for the same reasons. Gen. Levy said the Sy- rians cannot now withdraw without losing prestige in the Arab world, but would have just as much influence in Lebanon if it did not have to station its army there. • QUARTZ WATCHES • A no/ OFF • • • • • • • • • • OPIUM-GUCCI HALSTON-NORELL '111/0 sugg gist CROSS PENS 40% OFF i TELEPHONES' • no 40% sugg. list OFF • SONY • • TELEPHONE • ANSWERING • MACHINES TV'S • EUREKA VACS RADIOS • TYPEWRITERS WALKMANS• OSCAR BRAUN'S; LINCOLN TOWERS, SUITE 111 15075 W.
