Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, who last week lost his $50-million libel lawsuit against Time Inc., accused Time magazine of publishing false reports about Israel for three decades. Time’s editor-in-chief, Henry A. Grunwald, who like Sharon appeared on ABC-TV’s “This Week With David Brinkley,” again insisted that the magazine had not lied in reporting about Sharon’s alleged role in the 1982 massacre of hundreds of Muslim Palestinians by Christian militiamen. The jury that rejected Sharon’s libel suit “said not that we lied but that we made a mistake in good faith,” Grunwald said.
