...dimension of terror from the inside added sharply to the burdens of Premier-designate Golda Meir, who, as expected, was voted in by the Israel Labor Party to succeed the late Premier Levi Eshkol last week. Only a day after the vote, trouble flared along the Suez Canal. Hours after Israeli jets shot down an Egyptian MIG-21 over the Sinai, artillery opened up along the 60-mile canal front. For the second time since the Six-Day war, Israeli guns set fire to Egypt's main oil refineries at Suez. The Israelis lost one soldier killed...
...Soviets made Ulbricht settle for much less than that. Though some 250,000 East German and Soviet troops took part in maneuvers near West Ber lin's road, rail and canal routes to the West, only road traffic came in for serious harassment.

...legendary Rothschilds have quite a knack for multiplying their money by backing the right people in the right places. Rothschild gold bought supplies for the Duke of Wellington before Waterloo, financed Disraeli's purchase of the Suez Canal and bankrolled 19th century railroaders as well as modern industrial pioneers in Newfoundland. Soon the Rothschilds will be striking out in still another direction: the lands around the broad Pacific basin, especially Japan...
