...announced goal of El Fatah, the Arab terrorist organization, is to provoke Israelis into a pogrom of Arabs living in Israel and thereby shatter all Israeli hopes for peaceful coexistence in their occupied territories. Last week, in the latest of a series of bomb attacks, Arab terrorists struck for the first time in Tel Aviv and succeeded in rousing an angry Jewish response...
When Britain's Prince Charles visited Wales two months ago, a 17-year-old girl standing in the crowd cried "Wales forever!" and tossed a smoke bomb his way. Hauled off to a magistrate, she was fined ?5 and called a "silly girl." Silly or not, there are likely to be more such incidents before Charles' investiture as the Prince of Wales next July. There is a small but violently nationalistic minority in Wales that regards the Prince as a symbol of English oppression. Concerned for his safety, the Queen recently spoke to Prime Minister Wilson, and Scotland...
...spinster has always been a haunting and rather mysterious figure: no man quite knows her. Victorian writers characterized her as a religious zealot or an anxious nanny. In the post-analytical theater, Playwrights William Inge and Tennessee Williams toss her about like a sex bomb on a short fuse -guaranteed to explode somewhere in the second act.

She is as obsolete as an antimacassar-and as real as the reader...
Genetics may open the door to still more macabre methods of destruction. In The Biological Time Bomb (World; $5.50), published last week, British Science Writer Gordon Rattray Taylor raises the specter of genetic warfare-one nation permanently weakening the people of another by infecting them with potent lab-made viruses carrying damaging hereditary material. Experiments have already shown that viral infections can make fruit flies fatally sensitive to such ordinary substances as carbon dioxide. M.I.T. Bacteriologist Salvador Luria speculates that some day a diabolical individual may be able to concoct a virus that renders men equally susceptible to specific substances...
Annie is played by Joanna Shimkus, a Canadian who was last misused in the Burtons' bomb Boom! (TIME, May 31). Here, she controls her role with an even poignancy and an odd beauty. Though Paxinou's part is minuscule, her gravitational field exerts enough force to draw every scene toward her. But despite Zita's undoubted appeal to dreamy young girls, an interesting young star and a grand old pro are not enough to support yet another tremulous version of the girl-in-a-woman's-body theme. Director Robert Enrico tries to lend his slender...
