...drill-sergeant Premier of Israel but simply a woman bereaved. Accompanied by President Zalman Shazar, Mrs. Meir attended funeral services in Jerusalem for 20 Jews who were among the 47 people killed on Feb. 21 when a sabotaged Swissair jet exploded and crashed while flying from Zurich to Tel Aviv. As she spoke of Israel's doleful familiarity with "the phenomenon of the common grave," Mrs. Meir buried her face in her hands and wept. Then she dried her tears and in a firm voice urged: "Let us turn the sorrow and rage into a mighty force, real...
Despite the restoration of full service, nervous passengers seemed to be trying new routes. European planes arrived in Tel Aviv with only ten to 20 passengers aboard. El Al, which normally flies only 50% full at this time of year, was booked 77%. Said a spokesman for Israel's national airline: "We never had a better February."

...around longer than any of us. "The American Tribal-Love Rock Musical" has already settled down for long, long runs in New York, Paris, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, London, Tokyo, Sydney and now Boston.

Some dramatic Israeli retaliation against the savage and brutal act of terror seemed inevitable, but by the end of last week, there had been nothing more than a few relatively routine air strikes against Egypt (see following story). The most vigorous protests came not from...
...claim was certain to anger both Switzerland and Austria-whose aircraft were involved-and other neutral nations, which now are presumably no longer immune to commando attacks on their Israel-bound airliners. The action was also certain to heighten passions in the troubled Middle East. Tel Aviv, sensitive to attacks on its communication lines, was likely to react violently to the sabotage of airliners enroute to Israel...
