After an astonishingly productive first session in 1965, this year the 89th rested -all but inert-on its laurels. Presented with 25 major bills in early 1966, it had taken final action on just seven as last week began.

Last week, in its most ambitious diversification, G. & W. made a deal to merge with...
...daughter and three grandchildren now living in Israel, has poured his heart into Behold the Fire, his eighth novel. His prose at times is hauntingly Biblical. His description of Jewish farmers battling a locust swarm is so vividly and sparely done that the reader can all but feel the crunch of the crawling vermin underfoot. And his protagonists, growing almost against their will to withstand stresses they never imagined, will not be easy to forget...
