...your explanation of the name Jerusalem, you would find an illuminating reason by reading on a little farther in the Babylonian Talmud you quoted. This is the manner in which our sages put it: Abraham called it Jeruh (Hebrew for awe) and Shem, the son of Noah, called it Salem (for peace or completeness). And the L~d said, "If I call it Jeruh as Abraham did, then the righteous Shem will be insulted, and if I call it Salem as Shem did then the righteous Abraham will be insulted. I will therefore call it as both did -Jerusalem...
Rolling Thunder. One logical decision, long urged by his military advisers, would be a determined thrust by land and sea in and above the so-called Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Viet Nams. The "Inchon Thing," as Pentagon planners call it-referring to Douglas MacArthur's end run into enemy territory during the Korean War -would carry the ground war to North Vietnamese soil for the first time.

So confident was the market that even President Johnson's call for a 10% tax surcharge failed to have a lasting effect. Thursday's market fell nearly ten points immediately after the tax message was made public. But by the closing bell, almost all the drop had been wiped out, and the loss for the day was a minuscule .29 points...
...mark may go unchallenged for quite a while. If Congress heeds President Johnson's call for a 10% income tax surcharge (see THE NATION), it could ease the monetary pressures that have lifted interest rates to monumental peaks. The mere presidential request for higher taxes set off a small retreat in municipal bond yields, from an average 3.98% to 3.91% for 20-year issues. And big investors scurried to snap up the last half of the big A. T. & T. debentures, which they had been spurning on the ground that the rate should have even been higher. Many corporations...
