...Israelis maintain that the fedayeen have not managed to penetrate deeply and in strength, nor have they been able to win over the bulk of the 944,000 Arabs living on the Israeli-occupied West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. Good intelligence and highly sophisticated, hard-hitting defense tactics stop most guerrilla activity on the perimeter of the Israeli heartland. Harsh retaliation by frequent air and artillery and occasional ground strikes has pushed fedayeen bases away from the 1967 borders. Sabotage and terrorism have dwindled in recent months. The Gaza Strip, that beehive of Palestine nationalism, is as quiet...
...Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads," wrote Albert Camus. "The police, or folly." The men who made Che chose folly. As Scenarists Michael Wilson and Sy Bartlett saw it, the Cuban revolution was just a Caribbean comic strip drawn in that country's green and peasant land. Its luminaries, Che Guevara (Omar Sharif) and Fidel Castro (Jack Palance) are Batman and Robin in fatigues.

That raid and two earlier forays, which damaged British- and Russian-made Nigerian planes at Enugu and Port Harcourt, eased the pressure on Biafra's landing strip at Uli. With no Nigerian bombers overhead for a change, transports were shuttling...
...hand, is a bachelor with Beatle-length hair, eyes that blaze like a Blake archangel's and a preference for girls in floppy trousers. Son of a Nebraska farmer, truck driver and "you name it," he studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute. He abandoned his geometric-strip canvases because they were "constricting." Now he lays his canvas on the floor and paints or sprays the background on. Next he sprays on the dancing dervish loops and lines that race across them with an industrial airbrush. Finally, he cuts out the picture he wants from the panorama that...
