...already at the limits of its natural military frontiers. If the Israelis cross the Suez, the Egyptians plan to take advantage of Israel's overextended supply lines by forcing a prolonged campaign inside Egypt?in Nasser's words, an "inch-by-inch war." It is historically such a Russian concept of defense by attrition that he just possibly did not think of it himself. Says Nasser's confidant, Al Ahram Editor Mohammed Hasanein Heikal: "If the Israelis want to take Cairo, Damascus or Amman?and I pray to God they will try to do one or all of these things...
Late Sweetheart. The ship's greatest test, public acceptance, is yet to come. The Cunard Line has gambled $71 million, loaned by the British government, on the concept of the ship as a floating resort hotel for young Americans willing to spend an average $72 a day for "the first vacation city that isn't tied down."

...European Concept. She is probably the first serious, practicing literary critic not to assume the primacy of print.

Isolating, for example, your sense perceptions as an independent phenomenon was something we did only to make out study of them easier. They are part of the whole thing that is you. And they only mean anything when it is seen how they fit in with the whole...
Back to Nietzsche. One of the problems with the "death of God" phenomenon, argues Anglican Canon David Jenkins of Oxford, was that it generated "too much fear for its positive side to be taken seriously." To many cler gymen, the concept of a dead deity simply hearkened back to the secular atheism of Nietzsche. What was more at issue was not so much the existence but the concept of God, and even the theologians who founded the movement differed sharply in their views. Gabriel Vahanian of Syracuse University spoke of the death of God in the sense that the creator...
