...While I disagreed with your jaundiced view of strikes against the Government, I liked the positive approach of the article urging realistic pay scales, good working conditions and an adequate collective bargaining machinery for our postal employees [March...
From the point of view of the Supreme Court's efficiency, the nomination ?and confirmation?of the ninth member cannot come too soon.

Israel admitted the bombings, but the two sides differed greatly in their accounts of what had happened. The Egyptians escorted foreign newsmen to a hospital to view the dead, as well as 31 wounded children. But they declined to let the reporters see the school, insisting that the road leading to it was impassable. Cairo reported that the two-year-old school, situated in a region known as Bahr el Bakr, or River of Cows...
