...broke out in an angry crowd surrounding Israeli Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin in Jerusalem, and it thundered across Israel like the wrath of Jehovah. The talk in the streets and in newspaper editorials was of vengeance, and Israeli leaders promised to wreak it. A 2,500-ton Israeli destroyer had been sunk by Egyptian rockets, with the loss of 49 lives, and there was no doubt in either Egypt or Israel-or, for that matter, anywhere else-that retaliation was not far behind.

When, following the tradition of his predecessors, he placed his 3,755-jewel crown on his own head, millions of Iranians fell to their knees and shouted "Javid Shah [Long live the Shah]."

U.S. losses were the heaviest taken in a single engagement since early summer: 55 killed, 66 wounded. But elsewhere the ground action was relatively light. Though the Allies sent a total of 56 battalion-size sweeps searching for enemy throughout South Viet Nam, the only other place where the Communists fought rather than ran was in the northern I Corps area. Near Quang Tri City, 80 miles north...
