...flush of a victory that surprised even Dayan and his officers ("I thought it would take a day or two longer," Chief-of-Staff Rabin said laconically), the Israelis are clearly not yet sure what to do with their spoils. Indeed, they hardly had time to count the full cost of their victory?or of the Arab defeat. Casualty figures, as yet, are fragmentary, but the few days of desert warfare may well have accounted for more dead than a whole year's fighting in Viet Nam. And historians will be a long time calculating the price in Arab morale...
...Qatar refused to load the ships of either nation. The situation seemed most serious for Britain, which gets two-thirds of its oil from the Arabs and has only a 30-day stock on hand.

Numbers of supporters--or votes--do not count for political strength, since "representative" bodies only disguise manipulation by the industrial military elite. Thus, the so-called "new middle"--a group of student leaders who recently wrote President Johnson expressing "responsible" doubts about the war--fails to recognize that the Vietnamese conflict is only one manifestation of a corrupt...
...listed, one by one, the legislatures' problems: "so few of our state legislatures (only ten of fifty at last count) envisage annual assemblies for the purposes of legislation.... 35 restrict a member's pay to $3500 a year or less and 23 impose a limit of some 90 days or less upon the length of legislative sessions...
