...from the U.N. Security Council to call it off. But the parade, which wound through both the Israeli and the former Jordanian sectors, produced none of the violence that its critics had feared. The reason was that Israeli troops effectively blocked all roads to Jerusalem and thus kept away Arab terrorists, just as they had during last year's Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Police also thoroughly searched car trunks for explosives, stationed men on rooftops and, long before the pageant began, arrested several Arabs suspected of being guerrillas. Israeli infantry and helicopters chased a sabotage squad...
...celebrate its 20th year as a nation -and its victory over the Arabs almost a year ago-Israel this week plans to hold its biggest military pageant. Almost half a million Jews from all parts of the country will descend upon Jerusalem, arriving in some 25,000 cars and 1,000 buses-a quarter of all such vehicles registered in Israel. Lining the streets or packed into bleachers, they will watch 4,000 uniformed Israelis wend their way through both the old and the new city. Jets will fly overhead, Centurion tanks will rumble past the ancient walls...
...about a decline in immigration. Though several hundred people of the thousands who came to help during the war decided to live in Israel, the country is now losing many trained citizens who are emigrating to the West.

His forms are abstract; but as the artist points out, the Arab also gilds his mosques and minarets with nonrepresentational decoration. Over the years, Youngerman has consistently enlarged, unloosed and simplified his own bannerlike designs, intensifying the colors until his latest canvases almost seem to palpitate on the wall...
...best is Job Sanders' Impressions, which uses Paul Klee paintings as "points of departure" for seven vignettes (set to music by American Composer Gunther Schuller) that capture both the painter's economy and his wit. There is sexy balletic humor in a spoof of Arab amour that features sinuous ballerina Willy de la Bije as the most languid odalisque ever to scratch herself where it itches. Most ambitious American entry is Glen Tetley's The Anatomy Lesson, which takes as its starting point Rembrandt's famous painting of the white-ruffed, black-hatted surgeons of Amsterdam...
