...must be able to exploit a politically disen-franchised sector of the labor force more intensely, and to export the economic and political costs of unemployment to underdeveloped countries, both of which migratory labor makes possible. Thus political stability and economic growth in the industrial centers of western Europe depend on the political divisions between countries within a continent which is at once economically integrated and unevenly developed...
...other combat planes (principally F-4 Phantoms and the Israeli-designed Kfirs) are being outfitted with the latest electronic gadgets to aid in night flying missions and foil antiaircraft missiles. The Shrike air-to-surface missile has been deployed to knock out the radars on which antiaircraft batteries depend. In addition, Israel is receiving "smart" bombs, which can be guided onto targets. Still on Jerusalem's shopping list are American RPVs (remotely piloted vehicles), which can counter the Arabs' Russian-built SAMs by drawing antiaircraft fire. To bolster its ground forces, Jerusalem is acquiring the TOW antitank missiles...

In the story, Kilbridge is quoted as saying, "You have to depend on biological replacement of teachers, and they generally stop learning at the age of 35" and that "practicing architects don't even have a vocabulary to share their experienkes with others." While the article is not free from sloppy reporting, two witnesses have vouched for its overall accuracy. Kilbridge, for his part, has failed to request any retraction...
