...Representatives plan either to boycott Pompidou's address, walk out while it is in progress, or present him with a declaration of protest. New York Mayor John Lindsay, who delighted the city's heavy Jewish population last fall by throwing a royal welcome for Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, does not plan an official welcome for Pompidou, and will be conveniently out of town when he arrives -an extraordinary display of politics in place of politesse for the mayor of a supposedly cosmopolitan city. The French President will probably be greeted in New York by hostile crowds...
...George Brown was at it again. Fresh from his remarkable performance last month on an unofficial visit to the Middle East, where he insulted both Israelis and Arabs with cheerful impartiality (TIME, Feb. 2). the outspoken ex-Foreign Secretary refused to be intimidated by his audience.

As the barrages continued and Israeli casualties mounted, Premier Golda Meir's government began responding by land, sea and air. Israeli commandos probed deeper and deeper into Egypt in sorties of ever-increasing boldness. In dogfights with less skillful Egyptian pilots, the Israelis scored a devastating 10-1 kill ratio. Assured of complete mastery of the skies, they carried the war ever closer to Cairo. Last week not a single...
...weeks ago, the Supreme Court of Israel startled Jews the world over by setting aside Halakha-Jewish religious law-as the official standard for determining Jewish nationality (TIME, Feb. 2). Last week, faced with angry protest by Israel's National Religious Party, Premier Golda Meir's Cabinet produced a compromise solution...
