Israel, which has faced more than its share of agony, had new worries at home. Following weeks of tension on the West Bank, there was a violent clash between Israeli and Arab inside the Jewish state itself that left six dead and scores wounded. It was the most serious confrontation between Israeli Jews and their Arab fellow citizens in the nation's history...
...clash between Bailey and Fort was inevitable. The two men have certain similarities-including enormous egos. Like Bailey, Fort is an author and lecturer; like Bailey, he has been criticized for his style and methods. In 1967 Fort was fired by the city of San Francisco as director of the Center for Special Problems because officials claimed he was incorrectly using funds to treat hippies with drug problems. In recent years, Fort has operated mental health and drug-treatment programs in the city. Fort also has been in quite a few courtrooms, appearing as a witness in some 270 trials...
...Spain last week. In Basauri, a suburb of Bilbao in rebellious Basque country (TIME, March 15), a demonstrator was gunned down by the Guardia Civil; a furious crowd forced the guardsmen to retreat to their headquarters.

The junta instills discipline: Poku-Appiah says an endemic problem in the Ghanaian bureaucracy is lateness for work, a crime which...
...Bitter Clash. Browning then called Dr. Joel Fort, a San Francisco practitioner in mental health. The prosecution hoped that he would offset the eminent defense psychiatrists, who supported Bailey's contention that Patty had been coerced by the S.L.A. into helping to rob the bank. An eye-catching figure with a shaved head, Fort clashed bitterly with Bailey; at one point, the two accused each other of lying. Fort testified that he had interviewed Patty for 15 hours, studied documents on the case for some 300 hours, and even spent an hour in one of the closets where...
