Begin, in fact, is convinced that the U.S. knows he will never cooperate with Reagan's plan, and that the underlying tactic of the Reagan Administration is to try to build up political opposition in Israel that would knock him out of office and install Labor's Peres. U.S. officials insist that there is no truth to that suspicion or to the Israeli claim that they have suddenly become pro-Arab. The hope of the Administration is to get both the Israelis and the Arabs to bend. But if all else failed, some U.S. officials privately concede, the Administration would...
Pacing off a precise 3½ steps from the base, Henderson screws his cleats firmly into the dirt and crouches knock-kneed, like Jerry Lewis imitating a baseball player. When the pitcher releases the ball, however, Henderson, having received the go sign from Martin, accelerates into hyperdrive. In two steps he reaches full speed, and a few strides later dives head long into the dirt-a timesaver that makes his body vulnerable to an opponent's cleats and knees. "I don't hit the ground too hard," he explains. "I come in like an airplane." By the time...

A knock on the door brings in a detective. Shyly he asks if Choubert knows a man named Mallot whose name ends either with a t or a d. Soon the questioning and the tone turn inquisitional...
Israel's air-to-ground missiles are also formidable examples of Star Wars electronics. The U.S.-built Shrike missiles are designed specifically to knock out ground-based antiaircraft batteries such as the SA-6s. From as far away as 25 miles, the Shrikes' radar-seeking device can be tuned precisely to the SAM'S frequency probably recorded by Israeli drone planes flown over the area before the strikes. The Shrike missiles could then home on the target, effectively turning the enemy missile control system against itself...
