...Middle East, Richard Nixon had observed several times, is the greatest hazard to world peace because it could draw the superpowers closer to the ultimate conflict. The melancholy accuracy of his warning was established anew last week when Jordan's civil war threatened to go international. The column of tanks from the puny power that is Syria challenged more than King Hussein's army; it tested statesmanship and will in Washington, Moscow, and throughout the Middle East. Jordan's agony deferred still further any efforts to start Arab-Israeli peace talks...
...private bash afterwards, Mailer could not originally relax. Thirsting for his base hit, he called surviving Niemans around his feet to attempt his speech anew. By now, however, fortyodd children of the grape clamored and whooped in their private adventures. The Nieman Class Lover had eyes only for a stunning visitor from the Mailer entourage, The Class Drunk stood in the kitchen loudly quoting Invictus, the wife of a magazine editor complained that we had chuckled rather than fought when Mailer called us whores.

As the crowd reached the Square, the newsstands closed abruptly, and the purse-snatching and fighting continued around the Square for about twenty minutes until police arrived...
...savage animal was captured. It was a boy of about twelve, origins unknown, with vulpine instincts and capacities. This Mowgli-like creature became renowned in his own time; a hundred years later, he was an object of fascination for Educator Maria Montessori. Now the cycle begins anew with this work by Francois Truffaut. At first the mud-caked curiosity (Jean-Pierre Cargol) is treated as a zoo animal, visited by Parisians who applaud his pathetic growls and tantrums. Mercifully -or so it seems-the child is taken in tow by Dr. Itard (played by Truffaut himself). The primitive behaviorist names...
