Genuine Unrest. Belatedly, Israel is recognizing the depth of that feeling. Former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan admitted in an interview with the newspaper Ha 'aretz that only genuine unrest, rather than terrorist agitation, could account for the demonstrations. He suggested that Israeli soldiers stay out of West Bank cities to avoid provoking conflict. "West Bank residents should be allowed to live their lives," he said. "If they want, then let them demonstrate and wave Palestinian flags." But Dayan added a chilling corollary: Arab mayors should be warned that if their towns exploded again, they would be placed under...
...history of cruelty and violence on the island has known no beginning or end. Forced to adapt to a life of continual war in order to survive, Cubans have become indifferent to the potential terrors of their situation. "... his host brought him an aspirin, and finally the young terrorist lay down on his bed in the room where he had been hiding almost six months now. They put the dynamite inside a closet in the room in which his parents and his oldest daughter slept. About an hour later another terrorist appeared to take back the borrowed dynamite...

Little Fear. French police had never heard of the Guevara Brigade before, but then they have not been very diligent in keeping track of such things. Until recently, operatives belonging to all manner of terrorist groups had wandered through Paris with little fear of trouble from les flics; the French government had been trying to maintain friendly relations with all Arab countries and their many, often violent, political factions and had hoped Paris would become a kind of fire-free zone that would be spared the terrorism troubling other European cities...
...suicide was the latest turn in the longest, most sensational terrorist trial that West Germany has known. The daughter of a museum director and once a prominent left-wing journalist, Meinhof, 41, already stood convicted of attempted murder in a 1970 prison raid that freed the gang's other namesake, Arsonist Andreas Baader, and began their paramilitary spree. One year ago she, Baader, now 33, and two other gang members-Jan-Carl Raspe, 31, and Gudrun Ensslin, 33-went on trial for a list of charges that included five counts of murder and 54 of attempted murder. Other Baader...
