...neutralist who might have shared Ma's views, was out of the country. The three prestigious prisoners escaped. And, on the instructions of American Ambassador William Sullivan, U.S. officers from the nearby Udorn airbase in Thailand saw to it that Ma's planes did not leave their base at Savannakhet for the threatened second strike. After a hasty conference with a government representative who flew to Savannakhet, Ma and eleven of his pilots fled across the border to exile in Thailand...

"On it and on it alone," says Halakah Scholar Rabbi Louis Rabinowitz of Jerusalem, "we base our lives, our thoughts and our actions." "Without Halakah," Israeli Author Abraham Kariv told a Jerusalem symposium on Halakah last week, "we do not know how to believe, let alone how to express our faith in everyday life." The Orthodox regard any watering down of Halakah as "the Gallup-poll approach to Judaism"-making the law conform to practice and thus, for example, permitting the eating...
