...editorial, the country's biggest newspaper, Amsterdam's De Telegraaf (circ. 670,000), blamed Foreign Minister Max van der Stoel for triggering the boycott when he called in Arab ambassadors at the start of the Arab-Israeli war to give them what they regarded as a dressing down. Though the Dutch were bound to suffer from their consistently pro-Israeli foreign policy over the years, many Dutchmen believed Van der Stoel's outspokenness - and Den Uyl's approval of Van der Stoel's views - goaded the Arabs to make an exam ple of Holland...
...London sex scandal that has ousted two members of the Heath regime detoured into Fleet Street last week. It developed that two giant Sunday papers had been involved in questionable Peeping Tom activities while competing for salacious muck.

Hoping to collar part of the European audience, Hugh Hefner has introduced Italian and German editions of Playboy. The mid-November debut of the Italian Playboy (circ. 350,000) posed a direct threat to Playmen (circ. 400,000), a home-grown imitation that has surpassed its American model in spice, if not in style, and has won a profitable niche for itself (TIME, Jan. 18, 1971). While Rome took in Hefner's prepublication ballyhoo, Playmen Editor...
