...display of armed might was held despite pleas from the U.N. Security Council to call it off. But the parade, which wound through both the Israeli and the former Jordanian sectors, produced none of the violence that its critics had feared. The reason was that Israeli troops effectively blocked all roads to Jerusalem and thus kept away Arab terrorists, just as they had during last year's Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Police also thoroughly searched car trunks for explosives, stationed men on rooftops and, long before the pageant began, arrested several Arabs suspected of being guerrillas. Israeli...
...Rabbits Long Enough." In Prague's Old Town Square, students organized the most anti-Communist rally yet of the four-month-old "socialist renaissance."

Once there, the viewers are expected to contemplate each work for at least 30 minutes-which is what Irwin does. As time passes, lights and blushes interweave; the shadows on the wall seem to march up and join the painting, until the spectator may well feel as though...
...decision to call in the police, said Columbia President Grayson Kirk, was "the most painful one I have ever made." Although the need for some drastic action to end the impasse was due partly to Kirk's own vacillation in handling the student protests, he had plenty of provocation to call in the police. For one thing, the strike had expanded well beyond its initial aims getting the university to cancel plans for a gymnasium in nearby Morningside Park and drop its affiliation with the Institute for Defense Analyses, a Govern ment-supported research center...
