Even so, the Israelis were concerned last week that the U.S. would feel that their attack on West Beirut was a punishment that did not fit whatever crime the P.L.O. may have committed. Major General Menachem Meron, Israel's senior military attaché in Washington, called in reporters to try to claim that the Wednesday assault on West Beirut was aimed only at rooting out P.L.O. gunners who were firing on Israeli troops.

After trying a prototype on his receptionist, Kurz filed for a patent in 1976 and sold it two years later to Ormco, a dental-appliance manufacturing company. At present 3,000 of the nation's estimated 7,400 orthodontists have signed up for Ormco-sponsored seminars in Kurz's technique...

When the Harriers are supporting their troops, they are a match for the Argentine planes, but they can't be there all the time. They simply don't have enough." Adds a Western European military observer: "Once the troops were ashore, the entire Argentine air force would go into battle. The British could not cover the troops...
