...determined is Israel to nail down assurances of U.S. support before entering peace negotiations with the Arabs that Washington often grows downright uneasy. As Premier Golda Meir told a Labor Party rally in Tel Aviv last week, U.S. Ambassador Walworth Barbour recently said to her: "Look here, Mrs. Meir, we've established that Israel is not a satellite of the U.S. Now I think we ought to make it clear that the U.S. is not a satellite of Israel."

They were a walking Polish joke, one lifting and turning the other to screw in a light bulb, refusing a nail because it was turned the wrong way.

...counter. The more she pays and the smaller her purchase, the happier we can be. That proves that she has almost conquered need for good. Just a little, ever so little more and it will be done. Ten million trillion zillion dollars for a jeweled silk-and-leather nail file case. Phew! We're almost there. Very soon we'll never need anything more ever again. We have solved necessity and in those very stores, the richest and the plushest ones, we are about to become God Himself...
