...resurgence of guerrilla activity showed, as Premier Golda Meir quickly pointed out, that Israel needs secure borders to ensure peace in the Middle East.

Neither side should present memorandums, he said, because written words often back negotiators into corners. He urged that all proposals or observations be kept oral...

It would be easy, and foolish, to sentimentalize SoHo into a kind of American Montparnasse, full of jolly creative gnomes secreting art and sharing the chili. The fact is that life there is, in general, considerably more agreeable than in Greenwich Village. Paradoxically, this is because SoHo is not officially...
