Some have denounced the anniversary events, fearing that they will create added tension. For Israel to go through with the parade, said U.N. Secretary-General U Thant, "could well have an adverse effect" on peace efforts in the Middle East. But the government of Premier Levi Eshkol sees the parade as a means of keeping alive the patriotic fervor of last summer. Most of the people approach the anniversary in a mood of elation and with a new sense of security born of their enlarged borders. But they also seem to suffer anxiety over the fact that nothing has really...
Tough Warning. The peace in the Middle East remains, fragile, and Israel's enemies have, if anything, grown more vengeful. At Cairo University last week, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser told a cheering audience that his country must "mobilize for the decisive battle against Israel." For his part, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, in one of his toughest statements, warned that his army would invade Jordan if terrorists continue to use it as a base from which to raid Israel. Said Dayan: "The Jordan Valley could turn into a battlefield in which there will be no room...
...Times-Mirror Co. of Los Angeles must divest itself of two papers it bought in 1964, the San Bernardino Sun and the Telegram.

...Olympic Games rarely are free of political intrigue and controversy. In 1936, Adolf Hitler tried to make them a showcase for Aryan supremacy, and might have succeeded but for the herculean efforts of a U.S. Negro named Jesse Owens. The 1956 Summer Games were marred by bitter East-West disputes, denunciations and defections-understandably enough, since they were staged soon after the Hungarian revolt and the Suez crisis. And last February's Winter Olympics at Grenoble produced their quota of incidents: the angry withdrawal of North Korea-because it insisted on being called the "Democratic People's Republic...
...excellence of A Face of War is not only in its fine camerawork but also in its sense of completeness. Its 77 minutes encompass the totality of Viet Nam combat: the fear and pain and boredom, heat and rain, rare relaxation, and uneasy meetings of East and West. The Marines are genial giants running a village clinic or delivering a baby; they are stunned young men around the whimpering body of a mortally wounded child; they are stone-faced juggernauts of mechanical war evacuating bewildered civilians in helicopters, methodically incinerating their houses with flamethrowers to deprive the enemy...
