Though the Israelis have no intention of budging now, and certainly would be hard to dislodge by any means, no sober Israeli believed that it would be good for his nation to hold all the new lands over the long...
...their favorites fall by the wayside: Graham Hill, the 1966 winner, out on the 24th lap with a sick piston in his Lotus-Ford; Mario Andretti, the speediest qualifier at 168.9 m.p.h., out on the 59th lap when his Brawner-Ford threw a wheel on the No. 3 turn; Dan Gurney, the second fastest qualifier (at 167.2 m.p.h.), black-flagged on the 161st lap with a blown cylinder in his American Eagle.

Snow White, "a tall dark beauty containing a great many beauty spots," lives in an unnamed city with seven men -Bill, Kevin, Edward, Hubert, Henry, Clem and Dan. When they are not taking showers with Snow White or making love to her, they keep busy washing buildings, carrying money to the vault and tending vats in which they brew Chinese baby food. The men are not dwarfs, but might as well be. Snow White says tartly: "The seven of them only add up to the equivalent of two real men." About all that they have in common, except Snow White...
