...upper hand over national thinking." Complained Nazareth's Communist Mayor Tawfiq Zayad: "Many of Koenig's recommendations are already official policy. We are constantly spied on, we are discriminated against in the schools, our land is confiscated, and there are no government industries in the Arab sector." Even though Koenig's recommendations were considered unacceptable in Jerusalem, Haim Kubersky, Director-General of the Interior Ministry, supported Koenig's right to make them. Said Kubersky: "A Jewish majority in Galilee is a legitimate goal." Perhaps. But if anything seemed bound to stir up the kind of political...

More Jobs. Like a jeweler who inspects a gem for the subtlest flaw, New York Democrats quickly spot the slightest deviation from accepted liberal doctrine. For the most part, the candidates give the purists little to worry about. All five call for more jobs in the public sector, passage of the Humphrey-Hawkins full-employment bill, national health insurance, a U.S. takeover of welfare, and federal assistance to New York City-all multibillion-dollar programs that would sharply increase budget deficits or taxes or both. In heavily Jewish New York City, moreover, the candidates cannot do enough for Israel...
