...planes that caught ambulances, taxis and a television mobile unit from Amman parked out in the open. Two dozen people sought shelter in a culvert, but an Israeli fighter pilot blew it apart with pinpoint rocket fire. Not a vehicle on the roads in the area escaped damage or direct hits. Altogether, the Jordanians claimed, 34 people died and 82 were wounded. Leaflets dropped from the planes made clear the lesson Israel intended: "Death for those who ask for death. Life for those who want to live in peace...
Shades of Wells Fargo and the old Pony Express. In cities throughout Oklahoma last week, a pair of young businessmen, Thomas Murray, 43, and Darrel Hinshaw, 31, were operating their own private postal system in direct competition with Uncle Sam-and making money at it too. No wonder. The U.S. Post Office these days is a monument to inefficiency, and week after week the catalogue of complaints grows fatter.

The trip was a mite noisy and bumpy, and passengers were further inconvenienced by the fact that the new service does not yet have direct railway links to either London or Paris. The British Railways Board, which operates the crossings, hopes to eliminate most of the kinks in the next few months. Despite an adult fare of $8.40, compared with $6.24 for a regular ferryboat, most of last week's travelers seemed more than...
