...squandered his prodigious technique on a feeble fable about a one-dimensional collection of bourgeois undergraduates who appear to be trying on Red to see if it flatters their complexions. In the end, nothing about La Chinoise can be taken seriously-neither the mock-revolutionaries, who cannot commit a terrorist act without knocking off the wrong man, nor Godard, who fails as a satirist because his preening pupils, full of the pop and pap of the New left, are already a satire on themselves. Despite sonorous allusions to such major artists as Brecht, Goethe and Dostoevsky, La Chinoise is only...
...long in coming. The Israelis got the provocation they were looking for when a tractor pulling a cartload of kibbutzniks ran over a terrorist mine in the soggy underbrush of a Beisan valley banana plantation. Four men were killed, including the 53-year-old founder of the kibbutz, and four others wounded. Three hours later, the Israeli army opened up with light machine-gun fire on the Jordanian side of the valley. The Jordanians fired back, and the battle was on. Israeli artillery pounded an evacuated village, and Jordanian 155-mm. Long Toms zeroed in on seven kibbutzim...
...have knocked out four guerrilla bases and much of Jordan's ar tillery. The battle was, declared Chief of Staff Haim Bar-lev, "a blow greater than the one of Feb. 15"-when Israel unleashed a similar assault.

...Essentially Evil." Under a stringent new Law and Order Maintenance Act that makes even the possession of terrorist weapons a capital offense, the number of Africans awaiting execution in Rhodesia has risen to 115 since se cession (v. only twelve before). Prime Minister Ian Smith's white minority regime, unsure of its authority and fearful of casting itself in the role of judicial murderer, had refrained from carrying out the sentences. Then, two weeks ago, Rhodesia's high court ruled that the noose could be used, since the Smith regime was a de facto government. British Prime Minister...
Making a Point. Israel hoped, said Dayan, to "teach Jordan that a ceasefire is a cease-fire and that it applied to both Israel and Jordan." The Arab terrorist organizations, which have been responsible for starting most of the trouble, announced from the safety of Damascus that they would continue their raids, but King Hussein got the Israeli message. In a broadcast over Radio Amman, he promised to try to keep the terrorists from using Jordan as a base. "As of today," he said, "I shall not allow anyone to supply the enemy with pretexts and justifications for aggression." Whether...
