Active Self-Defense. At Eshkol's last Cabinet meeting, the Israeli government decided on a new policy to deal with the fedayeen: "active self-defense." as Foreign Minister Abba Eban put it, or waging war directly on the commandos, without regard to their host countries. If that amounted to recognition of the commandos as an independent force, it also assured them of a more harrowing existence. Hardly had the decision been announced when Israeli ground troops attacked a Jordanian police station suspected of being a jumping-off point for fedayeen raids. One Israeli soldier was wounded in an hour...
...fact, Paul Zukofsky is the foremost interpreter of contemporary violin music in the U.S. today. At 25, he indeed cares a great deal about success, except that he has chosen to pursue it in the challenging and unpredictable world of new music rather than in the classics. He need not have done so. His flawless technique and singing interpretative style would have been enough to rank him with any of his contemporaries in the safe world of traditional concert life. But while Zukofsky can, and does, play the classics, he sees himself as a latter-day Liszt, introducing the music...
Many students were disappointed at Nixon's pronouncement, but few were surprised. "Nixon's statement shows little understanding of the nature of student grievances," said Thomas Dawson, a Stanford junior.

...interest. Usually the principal is repayable 25 years later, in two installments. Under that arrangement, recipients of debentures qualify for the so-called installment-sale tax provisions. If they swap shares in a target company for the conglomerate's deben tures, they pay no capital-gains tax on the deal until they get their money back in 25 years. Debentures are doubly attractive because they are generally convertible into common stock at an above-the-market price. For the companies that issue them, debentures offer an even bigger tax break. The interest payments can be deducted from corporate taxable income...
Salesman is a good deal more ambitious and successful. Producers Al and David Maysles spent almost two months following a group of Bible salesmen on their rounds (which they refer to as "your Father's business"), from Boston to Opalocka, Fla. The result is a nightmare version of, in Al Maysles' phrase, "a part of the American dream." Salesman's central figure is a middle-aged Massachusetts Irishman named Paul Brennan, whom his cronies nickname "The Badger." He holds one of the MidAmerican Bible Co.'s better than average sales records, but as the film progresses...
