...vote for the regional government, and every resident would have the right to choose whether he wants an Israeli or a Jordanian passport. The idea of such a confederation might sound unrealistic, but then so have all the attempts of the past to find a solution. It is a clash between two societies, one emerging from a feudalistic framework and the other deeply rooted in democratic principles. When Jewish and Arab leaders meet, it is like a meeting between sea fish and gefilte fish. For us, democracy is a daily exercise; for the Arabs, democracy threatens to cause a social...

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.

On the musical side, Boston...

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. In Tarragona, a worker fell from a roof to his death during a clash with police. Shipyard workers even struck in Franco's birthplace. But a quieter event of considerable political significance occurred last week in Madrid, where nine military officers were found guilty of sedition...
