...Israelis may not have a free hand always, but they certainly have the upper hand now. In the Six-Day War, the Israeli air force virtually determined the outcome by swiftly destroying 393 Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian and Iraqi planes on the ground. They shot down another 59 Arab craft in dogfights. All told, the Israelis lost only 36 planes, most to ground fire. Today, the Israelis have about 300 French-and American-built combat planes, against about 800 Soviet-supplied MIGs and Sukhois. But Israel has more combat-ready pilots and, with meticulous maintenance, always enough jets ready for them...

Once the water...
Down at Newport Beach, Wayne also makes it livable for the most number of people. Out in Newport Bay bobs his boat, Wild Goose II. Lesser men would have a yacht; Wayne's craft is a converted minesweeper. His house overflows with memorabilia and sentimental tributes from institutions as far apart as Good Housekeeping and the U.S. Marines. His collection of Hopi Indian kachina dolls is probably second only to Barry Goldwater's. Though the family car appears to be a standard Pontiac station wagon, it was custom built.
