Your reader who recently wrote: "I don't want my son dumping his guts on Negev sand in the interests of Zionism"-and others who have repressed similar feelings-would do well to cool it. There has been no indication from either American or Israeli politicians that U.S. military intervention is even being considered...
...what some Israeli officials referred to as a "diplomatic pre-emptive strike," Sadat announced that despite Kissinger's failure, Egypt would reopen the Suez Canal to foreign shipping on June 5, the eighth anniversary of its closing during the 1967 war. Sadat's declaration drew a cool response from the Israelis.

It turned into a matter of open steel constructions, more air than metal; painted surfaces that repress one's sense of material; cool machine-made boxes, metal tiles or bricks laid flat on the floor, anodized glass cubes and characterless Formica skins.

...believe me if I said I had seen the road to Damascus somewhere between Dublin and London." Apparently, the Prime Minister had decided to adopt a shrewd and presumably fail-safe strategy. By not fighting strongly for the Market, he might be able to use his image as a cool, pragmatic Marketeer to win marginal voters who would be turned off by the passionate appeals of committed pro-Europe Laborites. If by chance the referendum fails, Wilson could then claim that all along he had doubts, which the electorate had confirmed...
