...Israel stuff. The press--which under the appellation of 'Operation Torchlight' is secretly conspiring to boost popular support for Israel--is backing Canfield all the way. Meanwhile, a network of spies and terrorists are surreptitiously acting to destroy detente by setting the entire mass communications industry on an all-out campaign supporting nuclear arms shipments to Israel...
