A SILENT BEGIN CASTS SHADOW ON ISRAELI VOTE
Mina Zemach, a well-known Israeli pollster, bumped into her office maid the other morning and could not resist asking her who would get her vote in Israels approaching election. Without hesitating for a moment the maid responded, Begin. The maids answer was not unusual here. Although Menachem Begin is not running for elective office for the first time in Israeli history, and although he remains a recluse in his Jerusalem apartment, his shadow continues to hang over the Israeli election campaign. His successors imitate him, his followers still shout his name at rallies and his opponents are doing everything possible not to provoke him out of his self-imposed exile and into the campaign.

DAMATO: AT HOME IN THE SENATE
Tom Goldstein is a writer specializing in legal and political affairs. Day after day, night after night, the debate over legislation to raise the gasoline tax dragged on. Conservatives filibustered against the measure, which was intended to create a public works program. The Administration also disliked the plan, but gradually gave ground as Christmas approached. While larger political and economic issues were being played out around him, Alfonse M. DAmato, New Yorks junior Senator, was keeping watch over a more parochial issue - the preservation of operating subsidies for public transportation, a matter of paramount importance to his constituents. This was his issue, the issue he had picked after his election two years before as a means to make his mark in the Senate. Now the Administration was trying to eliminate the subsidies, which helped pay the day-to-day costs of mass transit in New York City and keep the fares down.
