What about the Arab refugees from Israel? Israel has refused to admit the 217,000 Arab refugees in the Gaza strip, fearing a fifth column; the Arab countries have lagged in resettling them, keeping them in a disgruntled corps to dramatize the Arab contention that Israel is not permanent and that the refugees will in time go home. It is time to work out a resettlement plan under which the Israelis should be prevailed upon to take back the refugees in sizable numbers, or contribute sizably toward their resettlement in Arab lands. The U.S. stands ready to help with...
...syndicated newspaper column Spires of the Spirit, Dr. Frederick Brown Harris, chaplain of the U.S. Senate, un-petaled himself about flowers and funerals. " 'Please Omit Flowers,' " he wrote, "is a request often issued when arrangements are announced for what is usually called a funeral service . . . Whence comes this incongruous suggestion? Omit flowers-in the Valley of Shadow, when every yearning impulse is struggling vainly to express feelings that are too deep for words! . . .

When Walter Winchell began wearing his hat into U.S. living rooms last month as the M.C. of a new half-hour variety show (Fri. 8:30 p.m., E.S.T..

In a letter to 21 of the papers that carry the Alsops' column, Thomas marveled at the Alsops' "extraordinary adventure in support of the blundering Eden and the sorry socialist, Mollet." Said Thomas: "Suppose (as the Alsops would have it) that the U.N., with the President's approval, had put off a cease-fire in the Middle East. We might already...
...expansive ground floor of Paris' Musée National d'Art Moderne looked like a specter-haunted landscape from Mars. Birdmen, ten inches tall, made up of a human thorax, bare-boned ribs and a spinal column topped by oversized beak and reptilian eyes, stared back at the spectators. A human-size Praying Mantis in female form crouched ready to spring; a Shepherd with half-decayed body tottering on three spindle legs looked more like an abandoned sheep carcass than a human figure. The reason for this nightmare in Paris last week: 82 pieces finished in the last...
