...been rumored for months, but only last week did the Israeli government itself leak the news: Lieut. General Haim Bar-Lev, 47, chief of staff for the past four years and the man whose name was given to the Bar-Lev Line of Israeli fortifications along the Suez Canal, will leave the army at the end of the year in line with an Israeli tradition of generals retiring before they are 50. Bar-Lev's successor: his oldest friend and current second-in-command as chief of operations, Major General David ("Dado") Elazar...
Both sides were ready to engage in big-power politicking. A reluctant Japan was pressured into co-sponsoring the U.S. resolutions and joining the pro-Nationalist lobbying effort. Wavering countries, such as Panama, which is involved in delicate canal-treaty negotiations, were brought into line with sharp reminders of their client status.

NEEDLESS PROJECTS. Starting with its battle against the Cross-Florida Barge Canal, which President Nixon himself stopped (TIME, Feb. 1), E.D.F. has brought seven major suits against federal construction projects. Most of them are designed to halt dams proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As the environmental lawyers and their scientific advisers see it, none of the projects are needed for water control, agriculture or any other practical purpose-and all would destroy valuable ecological balances. So far, the courts have tended to agree. Last February a federal court enjoined the Army Engineers from damming the Cossatot River...
