There was a slight shift to the right. The right-of-center Gahal Party, which called for annexation of the Arab territories captured in the 1967 war, gained at least one seat and is expected to emerge with 25 or 26 in all. "We won't budge an inch," Gahal Leader Menahem Begin told crowds. Mrs. Meir and other Labor leaders were more vague about the occupied lands, promising simply "no withdrawal without peace...
...wreckers went to work, so did the fossil hunters. They hosed and washed more than 300 suspect stones, chipped at them with hammer and chisel and then examined every square inch of visible surface. By the second day, they had found two large blocks, weighing about 500 Ibs. each, that showed distinct fossil markings. Back in New Haven, Ostrom made precise measurements.

This spectrum constantly changes as different chemical reactions occur...

RCA hopes to begin marketing the first SV adapters in 1972 for a retail price of "under $400." Six-inch cartridges, providing a half-hour of color programming, would initially cost about $10 apiece but could be rented for far less...
