...Afrika Korps, Ismail fought in the 1948, 1956 and 1967 wars against Israel. As Arab commander in chief, he put in 20-hour days during 1973, planning the autumn strike. When the Syrian and Egyptian assaults came on the afternoon of Yom Kippur, Ismail's use of water cannon to erode the sand bluffs of the Suez Canal enabled Egyptian troops to cross at unexpected points and shatter the Israeli Bar-Lev Line within six hours.

When Mrs. Ford heard last week that William Conrad, "Cannon" of their favorite TV program, was touring the White House, she ordered, "Bring him up." The spur-of-the-moment invitation left her no time to dress, and so the First Lady was still in her robe as she received "Cannon" for coffee.

...tumbling the pillars of organized religion, exposing homosexuality in prison, discussing Lesbianism, and depicting small towns as hopelessly dull (there's nothing to do but visit Woolworth's and the cannon; you get in a cab and the driver turns around and asks you if you know where he can get laid), Lenny was labelled "sicknik" by Time magazine.
