...battle, well, Hotspur might not really have been dead. Why take chances? The worst libel of honest Falstaff occurs in Henry VI, Part I, a play written earlier than the Prince Hal histories and probably only partly by Shakespeare; here "Sir John Fastolfe" disgraces himself on the battlefield. Nye's Falstaff makes the incident honorable if not heroic...
...Palestinians also suffered losses on the battlefield as well as on the diplomatic front. In southern Lebanon shortly before the latest ceasefire, Christian forces attacked Moslem towns in the border area long known as "Fatahland." Israel, which has already given small arms (TIME, Aug. 2) and even tanks-38 U.S.-built Shermans and 33 captured Soviet T-54s-to the Christians, moved several steps further last week.

Only this time it was in Deventer, Holland, on location with Producer Joseph E. Levine's $25 million war movie A Bridge Too Far. "It was completely real, everything grindingly, crushingly normal - everything except the bullets," reported Duncan after taking pictures of Actor Robert Redford and cast recreating the 1944 Battle of Arnhem. A good assignment, then? "The greatest," answered Duncan, "because after the day's work...
