With cinematic speed, the cast of characters tumbles around the stage to the sounds of Haydn's 82nd Symphony. Isn't that Buster Keaton? There's Joe Namath and a courtful of jokers, heroes and heroines all. Linked by sheer velocity, the steps merge in combinations that are silly and daring.

The second force would include two brigades of the 82nd Airborne Division (7,600 men) now stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. They would fly to Hatserim Air Base, a closely guarded, little-known facility in Israel, and then await further orders. In using Hatserim as a staging base, Washington would be collecting IOUs that it has accumulated by funneling billions in military...
