Terror is another weapon: Iraq's brutal hanging of nine Jews as Israeli spies was clearly intended to intimidate the Israeli government, and the Arab commando attacks on El Al's jets have precisely the same aim. Israel, a master of the extralegal reprisal (the Beirut airport raid), has also excelled in long-range kidnaping, as in the classic case of Nazi War Criminal Adolf Eichmann, whom Israeli agents spirited out of Argentina in 1960. Former Congolese Premier Moise Tshombe still sits in an Algerian jail, caught in a mid-air kidnaping in 1967. Such is the climate...
This music is raw, rude and visceral and is delivered with relentless power. Yet in its own way it reflects the hard, fast, brutal realities of the modern urban ghetto which produced it. This music reached its peak in the late fifties and early sixties when Bluesmen like Elmore James, Sonny Boy Wiliamson, The Muddy Waters Band, B. B.

The stark reality of racism in our country requires a fundamentally different approach to questions of this kind. Arnold Lockshin Lecturer in Biology
...cast to it, his chin is narrow, and when he takes his glasses off, he has a wide-eyed, rabbity look. Harvard-educated Harris, 30, gives the appearance of being a timorous man, one who might well lose control under fire. While he now shows few signs of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of the North Koreans, Harris was hospitalized and confined to a wheelchair following the crew's release last December...
