THAT'S not the mighty roar of the presses you hear on the other end of the line when you call Westchester Women's News, the newest addition to county journalism. More likely than not, it's Merna Popper's dishwasher.

International Menachem Begin sought an inquiry into the killings of Palestinian civilians in Beirut last weekend. The Israeli Prime Minister, in an effort to quell growing outrage among Israelis, asked the Chief Justice of Israel's Supreme Court to head the investigation into any Israeli responsibility in the slayings, but the Chief Justice said it would not be proper for him to act on the request now.
