...object of last week's raid, for example, was to provoke Nasser into shifting southward some of the 80,000 men he has along the canal, but he is unlikely to do so. Thus more Israeli attacks can be expected south of Suez. Eventually, the Israelis might also bomb the big industrial center of Helwan, 15 miles south of Cairo, where they could inflict damage to Nasser's economy without hitting population centers. The Israelis do not want to gobble up more Arab land. "Our strategy is not to cross the Suez Canal and head for Cairo," says Dayan...
...cooperation with the Arabs, but Israeli officials do not deceive themselves about the depth of hostility toward their rule and, as a result, permit a good deal of criticism. "You can say anything you like over there," explains Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, "but we won't stand for bomb throwing." Indeed, terrorism or sheltering and aiding fedayeen commandos bring quick, harsh Israeli retaliation. Houses are razed and suspects are arrested and held without due process.

What grips his imagination, and shakes it till splendid words fall out, is the tic of a human bomb. In one novel, a beautiful woman feeds for 20 years on the high-held hope that she will one day, somehow, be able to chop up her lover with a machete. In another, a man sets out, in more sinister fashion, to learn by heart every last scrap of information...
...young people, who had previously thought of themselves as part of an isolated minority, experienced the euphoric sense of discovering that they are, as the saying goes, what's happening. Adults were made more aware than ever before that the children of the welfare state and the atom bomb do indeed march to the beat of a different drummer, as well as to the tune of an electric guitarist. The spontaneous community of youth that was created at Bethel was the stuff of which legends are made; the substance of the event contains both a revelation and a sobering lesson...
