Though they conceded that the government had acted hastily, Israeli journalists hardly rallied to the side of their imprisoned colleagues. Since the creation of Israel, newsmen have taken a rigorous censorship for granted because of the ceaseless hot-and-cold war with the Arab nations. Only one paper, Ha'Aretz, which has no party affiliation, sharply criticized the government. "While the Bui publication could have hurt the interests of the state," said an editorial, "that harm is nothing compared with the harm caused Israel by the secret arrests and trial.

...think with relief of his easy and sensible management of committees, with admiration of his hilarious and devastating humor in debate, of his soaring eloquence in behalf of his principles and of his down-to-earth, ceaseless labors to make them work.

Lights Out. The President was supposed to get in shape for his surgery with a restful hunker-down on the L.B.J. Ranch. Instead, he punctuated his ten-day stay there with five press conferences and a ceaseless stream of announcements, the most notable being that he plans to visit Europe and Latin America early in 1967. Back in Washington, he whittled down a stack of paper work. "Look at that desk!" he told Lady Bird and White House Aide Bill Moyers on the eve of the operation. "That's cleaner than it's been in three years...
