...settles like the soot as she goes about her monotonous routine-a visit to the library to warm her feet on a radiator pipe; a stop at the police station to record the most recent threat by her voices; an interlude at the National Assistance Board for her pitiful dole...
...enemy units and ferret out potential terrorists, sending the most dangerous ones to the Athlit P.O.W. camp south of Haifa. Then he turned to the task of supplying food and water to the abysmally poor people-mostly jobless Palestinian refugees who had been living on the U.N. food dole of 1,500 calories a day. Last week the U.N. resumed feeding them, and Goren made Gaza's Egyptian pound exchangeable for Israeli currency to encourage Arab shopkeepers to reopen.

Corporate profits fell 15%, while unemployment, once virtually nonexistent, has risen to 10% of the labor force, or 99,000 workers. Population growth virtually halted as 12,000 Israelis, in the biggest exodus since the country was founded, emigrated in search of work. Even more startling were the queues at unemployment offices, when some 2,000 dispirited workers...
