...Syrian Sukh017 fighter-bombers streaked across Israel's northern bor der and bombed an Israeli military post on Mount Hermon. Syrian artillery opened up against the town of Ku-neitra, key military headquarters in the occupied Golan Heights. Israel denied that either attack caused casualties. The real victim was the last mutually respected cease-fire line in the Middle East. Now, besides Egypt and Jordan, Is rael must deal with an active Arab enemy on a third front...

He authored Adlai Stevenson's Detroit La bor Day speech and shaped his economic policy from the campaign train. With somewhat less enthusiasm, he repeated the role in 1956. "Tragedy the second time is comedy," he notes wryly.
