...NEWS SPECIAL (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). "How Israel Won the War," an hour-by-hour account of the six-day "lightning war" and the events leading to it. Mike Wallace and General S.L.A. Marshall will view battle zones and discuss the war with Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Army Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin...
...great age has more documentary support than most, but it is not enough. None of the "evidence" specifically mentions him, or proves he was born where and when he says he was.

But nothing can destroy its authenticity as one of the toughest survival...

Last year the 67 members of the Association of American University Presses sold $22 million worth of books, five times 1948 sales, and they now account for one out of every eight nonfiction titles produced in the U.S. Many have joined the paperback boom, and are eagerly spreading U.S. scholarship abroad: 15% of all university press sales are now made overseas, and Columbia, Chicago and Yale even operate a joint sales office and warehouse in London...
