...Israelis. "Any age, any size, either sex," he said. "It makes no difference. They are on my land, and I shall kill them." In his shell shattered villa overlooking the River Jordan, Citrus Grower Raouf Halabi, 50, a graduate of Beirut's American University, reported proudly that his riverfront groves have become a nightly jumping-off place for raiding parties into Israel: "'Welcome,' I say to them. They are fighting for us. Is anyone else...
...driver's license, seeing Saigon and getting used to the look and feel of siege. At night I sampled the restaurants, favoring the old French Colonist haunts. The best of a good lot was a purely Vietnamese place, the My Canh, a floating restaurant tied up on the Saigon riverfront. It made news last year when a VC satchel charge ripped it and several patrons apart. As much as I enjoyed eating there, there was an indecent feeling about consuming sweet and sour pork, Carling's Black Label and fruit and nuts while listening to artillery across the river...
With the off-year elections ended and the jockeying for 1968 started in earnest, George Romney was wasting no time slipping into his silks.

To most, the city is a home for a few years and no more...
...Mississippi's Ku Klux Klan, an unemployed truck driver named E. L. McDaniel, lives in Natchez. Another familiar figure there is Charles Evers, militant state field director for the N.A.A.C.P. and brother of murdered Medgar. Surprisingly, though these hostile organizations both have strong followings in the old riverfront town (pop. 12,000 whites, 11,000 Negroes), they managed to coexist-until six weeks ago. Then, when the president of the town's N.A.A.C.P. chapter was cruelly maimed by a booby-trap bomb wired to his automobile accelerator, Natchez Negroes could no longer contain their anger. Week by week...
