Saddlesore and dust-caked, two aging cowpokes ride slowly into the gathering dusk. John O'Hanlan (James Stewart) listens with mounting exasperation as his longtime sidekick Harley Sullivan (Henry Fonda) rambles...
Events surrounding the anniversary week only deepened the gloom. In two skillful ambushes along the canal, 120 Egyptian commandos killed 13 Israeli soldiers. It was scant comfort that Israeli jets replied with six days of intensive bombing, including one 14-hour dawn-to-dusk raid, or that they shot down three Egyptian planes to bring their kills since 1967 to 101 (v. losses of nine). Near the Jordan border, Arab guerrillas fired Soviet-supplied, 220-mm. Katyusha rockets into the dusty town of Beisan on three occasions, killing three ten-year-old girls and wounding 36 people, mostly children...

These include a mile-long arch of hydrogen-filled balloon flown over the sea, to be exploded at dusk by an electric spark; vast towers of flame; and a scheme to incorporate the sun into art by turning it black, red or blue with optical "veils" hung between it and the earth. What will the ecologists make of that...
