Asifa's irregulars operate mainly out of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. They have close links with the year-old Palestine Liberation Organization, which, with the endorsement of Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, has raised and trained a 7,000-man army, helped by millions of dollars in cash contributions extracted from the 1,750,000 Palestinian Arabs scattered throughout the Arab world. But unlike P.L.O., Asifa takes orders from no Arab government. Asifa leaders are contemptuous of Nasser's recent warning to the Arab world against involvement in a premature war with Israel. A man close...
When three U.S. paratroopers made a wrong turn and were captured in rebel territory, Caamaño refused to turn them over to the OAS without a witness from the United Nations. He ordered his followers not to cash OAS checks for back government pay, refused to place the cable and banking facilities in his area under OAS auspices. Throughout the week, snipers pecked away from the rebel zone, adding one more wounded to the list of 139 U.S. casualties, and several mortar shells, fired probably by Imbert's troops, hit rebel territory, killing at least two people...
...After all the illusionists were done, Pat Boone finally got a chance to crown Sue Ann Downey, 20, a blue-eyed blonde (35-24-34) from Ohio State University, Miss U.S.A.

Such questions used to be a staple of law-school graduation oratory. And as such, they were all too often brushed aside. But U.S. lawyers can no longer ignore them, for the constitutional right to counsel is no longer limited to accused Americans who have the necessary cash. In its great decision of 1963, Gideon v. Wainwright, a no-fee triumph by Washington Lawyer Abe Fortas, the Supreme Court ordered all state courts to provide lawyers for indigent defendants in all felony cases-and Gideon may apply to misdemeanor cases as well. As the court simultane ously expands constitutional rights...
...invest most of their own foreign-exchange holdings in British gilt-edged bonds, thus swelling the reserves that Britain can use to defend the pound. When these countries run into deficits in their foreign trade, which happens particularly when commodity prices drop, the situation changes: the sterling area members cash in their bonds and thus pull down Britain's reserves. This is precisely what occurred this year; so far, the sterling nations have reduced their British-held balances to a two-year low of $225 million...
