Instead, Israel has continued to "consolidate its position"-as Eshkol put it -in the occupied lands. On the Mediterranean coast near El Arish-once the headquarters of Egyptian military forces in the Sinai-scores of bronzed and bearded young Israeli soldiers have staked out a fishing kibbutz that is the first Jewish settlement in the peninsula since Moses led his people out of Egypt. Another colony of Jews has moved into Etzion, in the Hebron hills of Arab Palestine, and a third has begun farming land at Baniyas, below the Golan Heights.

But he may also be a member of the Hell's Angels, a West Coast motorcycling fraternity whose maleness, however overexercised, lies beyond dispute...
...they find their own style and endure, or will this hit be their last? Last week, as the family worked their way down the West Coast on a 22-city personal-appearance tour, Bud was confident: "We're going to be a top recording group. There's no question in my mind, never has been."
