...Israel's friends???most notably, many in Washington?are also worried about the government's secret settlement policy, which seems likely to become more overt in a Begin regime. New Israeli settlements?most of them on land that was once owned by Palestinians?surround Jerusalem and separate the major Arab population centers from Jordan. Sewer systems, water lines, and roads clearly indicate that these communities are being built to last and that they will be linked to other ones still in the planning stage. The Palestinians are offered payment for the land, although most refuse it, complaining of unfairly...
...standing trial, it probably will not silence those who have been arguing that under a legal system promising equal justice for all, even a for mer President should be prosecuted if he is suspected of having broken the law. Moreover, few of Nixon's recent statements?as reported by friends???indicate any contrition.

Despite his efforts to salvage erring establishments, Fielding frequently errs himself. For annual corrections in cities that the five-member team has been unable to visit, Fielding is forced to rely on a network of friends???florists, restaurateurs, airline employees, local city-guide editors, shopkeepers.

As a result, an ominous current of anti-Semitism has appeared to widen the breach between them and the Jew. While this ancient virus infects only a small fraction of the country's 22 million Negroes, the Jew knows from bitter experience that it can spread with distressing rapidity. At the same time, some latent anti-black feelings have come to the fore among Jews?symbolized by the half-casual, half-contemptuous Yiddish reference to the "schvartzes" (blacks...
...there any way to identify the psychotic killer before he snaps and acts? The doctors will only say: sometimes. Any violent personality change should signal an alert to family and friends???a habitually shy and quiet person who suddenly becomes aggressive and talkative, or the reverse. Other danger signs: depression and seclusion, hypersensitivity to little slights and insults, a change in normal patterns of eating or sleeping, uncontrolled outbursts of temper, disorganized thinking and morbid interest in such potential tools of destruction as guns or knives. Psychiatrists are quick to add that the appearance of even all those symptoms does...
