Strange as it may seem, this attitude, amidst all the hooplah that preceeded the Saturday classic, was the correct one to have...

In a highly unusual move, Premier Menachem Begin summoned U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis to his office in Jerusalem to express sympathy for the victims. Said Begin: "If the news reports are correct on civilian casualties, we regret it very deeply, but we do not apologize for the operation itself.

At Stanford University, researchers have discovered that middle-aged male runners have HDL levels nearly 50% higher than their peers; their levels might be mistaken for those of young women, who are naturally endowed with more HDL and seldom have heart attacks. Other studies have shown that shedding flab and following a diet rich in vegetables...
