...come for your dog," they say, and Dukey, who had been lying quietly in the corner, looks up. They go over and attach some rope to his collar, pull, and take him out the door. The pet we've raised from age six weeks to almost six months is gone. We'd wanted to raise a nice dog, so we'd never taught him to sic the men in the white suits...
...decision, Judge Wollenberg did not accept their "emanation," though he was not immune to their vibrations.

In the same issue of Ha'olam Hazeh was another story, which took laudatory note of Allon's "heavy work schedule...

The bill, which would raise prices by denying consumers access to many imports, is likely to pass after only perfunctory debate, and then whiz to the Senate. There the Finance Committee already has voted to attach it as a rider to a measure raising Social Security benefits. The odds are that the Senate will pass the package in early December...
