...Israeli CIA. The director of the anti-P.L.O. operation is believed to be Major General Aharon Yariv, 51, who retired as director of military intelligence last year to become Golda Meir's "special adviser on security affairs." Yariv's operatives are probably members of Mossad ("the Institution"), Israel's equivalent of the CIA. Mossad appears to have infiltrated the guerrilla movement. In recent months at least three Arab travelers have been arrested at European airports by local police, who had been tipped off that passengers were carrying arms and explosives in their luggage. In separate incidents...
MOURNING the eleven Israelis who were murdered by Arab guerrillas of the Black September movement at the Munich Olympics last fall, Premier Golda Meir promised a war to avenge them. Israel, she said, would fight "with assiduity and skill" on a "farflung, dangerous and vital front line." Mrs. Meir never explained where that front line was to be, but it is now becoming ominously evident. Across Europe and the Middle East, Israeli intelligence agents and Palestinian Arabs are fighting an ugly, deadly battle of attrition. For each, the targets and victims are the other side's suspected spies...

Attired in a black brocade suit, carrying a crocodile bag anda rare sign of respect from a woman who prefers to be bareheaded-wearing a Persian-lamb hat flown in for the occasion by El Al, Israeli Premier Golda Meir last week called on Pope Paul VI. Although the Pontiff has met Israeli leaders before,-it was his first encounter in the Vatican with the country's chief of government. Unfortunately the historic moment seemed at first to create as much friction as good will. For that matter, so did most of the major events...
Thanks in large part to Golda's humor, the meeting proved to be spirited as well as historic. As she later told a reporter for the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv, she felt the same proud feeling on behalf of Israel that she had once experienced when she entered the Kremlin as Israel's first envoy. On her way to the papal library, she commented to an aide: "Imagine me, the daughter of Moshe Mabovitz, the carpenter, going to meet the Pope of the Catholics." Replied the aide: "Wait a minute, Golda, carpentry is a very respectable profession...
