Domestically, he has used this prestige to work out the highly successful disengagement with Israel. It is proceeding so well that the unexpected "capture" of a busload of touring American Jews last week by Egyptian soldiers (see box) was resolved in good-humored fashion.

So the Protestants reacted-at the detention, in part, but also because of their fears that the British were going to "sell out" to the Catholics in a forthcoming White Paper that will outline Westminster...
Erupting for four goals in an awesome second-half display of power, Harvard's unbeaten soccer team broke open a scoreless half-time tie and sent a Peter Pan busload of surprised Cornell players back to Ithaca, publicly admitting that this year's Crimson squad may indeed by the team to beat this season in the Ivy League...
