...sell 150 Kalashnikov rifles for $140. El Fatah gave him twice as much. Another Bedouin found a Syrian helicopter and built a tent to hide it for the El Fatah men. But when they arrived, they had no helicopter pilot along, so the craft was destroyed. A cache of eight tons of TNT, too heavy to carry away, was buried in the Sinai: "We don't have to carry explosives into that area. It's there waiting for us," Arafat says...
Outside Amman, children, aged eight to twelve, from the Baq'aa refugee camp, are trained in commando techniques. They are given rigorous calisthenics and obstacle-course training, taught to handle rifles and machine guns, and instructed where the larynx, heart, liver and intestines are located, the better to thrust a dagger in the right place.

But when Rostow sought to reclaim his post as a professor of economic history at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he left eight years ago to join John Kennedy, he was turned down. The most obvious explanation, that Rostow was blackballed for his hard line on Viet Nam, caused the New York Times's James Reston to write last week: "Is a man to be punished for beliefs sincerely held in public...
...Judge Beer at least, the argument made eminent sense. He affirmed the judges' right to sue and also gave them everything that they had asked for. The plaintiffs won a writ of mandamus that will compel the county to provide for leven more probation officers, eight more clerks, and one judicial assistant at a combined cost in salaries of at least $193,000 a year.
