...capped tourists in buses and cars race down the Mediterranean highway to gawk in Gaza and bargain-hunt for pottery, lamps and wicker goods in the bazaars. At first, miniskirted young Israeli sabras so excited Arab men, accustomed to women more thoroughly clothed, that an uncontrollable rash of pinching broke out. Now miniskirts are banned in Gaza...
...crack V.C. outfit. At once they were in a furious firefight and the Marine commander stubbornly waved off U.S. artillery fire and air strikes so that he could keep his own men in close contact with the enemy. After 22 hours of almost nonstop righting, the V.C. broke off to slip away by night. They left behind 150 dead and a number of prisoners, including the battalion's deputy commander. Along the rectangle's rim, U.S. and South Vietnamese troopers killed 135 other guerrillas, blew up nearly 700 bunkers...
From Mexico on south, the Communist Party has always broken down into splinter groups, but divisions have recently sharpened more than ever.

At Winnipeg last week, Debbie was matched in the women's 400-meter freestyle against the reigning world record holder, Pamela Kruse, 17, of Pompano Beach, Fla. She obviously has no respect for her elders. Leaving the aging Pamela struggling...
Only hours before the blaze broke out, the company had marked the midpoint of this summer's season with the U.S. premiere of Paul Hindemith's first full-length opera, Cardillac (1926). The work reflects Hindemith's youthful expressionisms although its intricately polyphonic writing and its theme-the creator v. society-also presage such products of his maturity as the 1938 opera Mathis der Maler. The libretto by Ferdinand Lion is based on an E.T.A...
