More than half of the dead were Puerto Ricans arriving for a long-planned tour of the Holy Land. Another victim was renowned Israeli Biophysicist Professor Aharon Katzir-Katchalsky, 58, who was returning from a symposium at M.I.T. Also among the dead: two of the three Japanese. One had apparently been shot by a companion who accidentally swung his gun too far. The second had dashed out, and either tossed his grenade at a parked jetliner, and was killed when it exploded on the rebound, or held the grenade in his hand and committed suicide; he was decapitated. The third...
Israel's response to the latest proposals will be framed in large part by four top-secret government committees that were formed in December. One, headed by Premier Golda Meir with Military Intelligence Chief Aharon Yariv as day-to-day coordinator, is concerned with borders; it has pretty much formulated the lines that would provide maximum security after Israel withdraws from occupied territories (see box). A second, headed by Foreign Minister Abba Eban, is working on the mechanics of negotiations and has quietly dispatched West Bank Arab leaders for exploratory talks with Palestinian guerrillas.

...cousin who was hanged was a good man. Some of the most important men in Iraq came to his store. He was very, very far from politics."

The 2,500 Jews who remain in Iraq today live under a reign...
Three Rooms & a Plymouth. Because rapid economic growth is its overriding objective, Histadrut plows back into development all its profits, which amounted to about $50 million in 1964. "Our profit is the development of the country," says Aharon Becker, 59, secretary general of Histadrut and chairman of Hevrat Ovdim. Becker forgoes pay for his jobs, lives instead on his $400-a-month as Knesset Deputy. Though one of Israel's five most powerful leaders, he prefers the anonymity of his 1962 grey Plymouth and three-room apartment in Tel Aviv's workers' housing development...
Your story of the failure to bury a child at the Jewish cemetery in Israel [Dec. 16] might have created an impression that the rabbis in Israel were heartless. In our religion, burial in a Jewish cemetery is a religious rite reserved to those who profess our faith. Since Aharon Steinberg was born of a non-Jewish mother, he was considered a non-Jewish child. The Catholic priest who refused the burial because the child was not baptized as a Catholic was following the tenets of his religion. Needless to say, it is natural for a religion to abide...
