...from Cancun to Acapulco, many of the hotels are booked solidly through summer at bargain rates. One of the top tourist attractions this summer is Jamaica, stable again after several years of political turmoil. Israel, with diversified activities ranging from inner-tubing down the Hatsbani River to skindiving at Elath, expects more than 300,000 American vacationers, of whom only 50% are Jewish. India is cashing in on its recent film fame with such offbeat ventures as a 15-or 21-day trip, "In the Footsteps of the Mahatma," tracing Gandhi's life (at $85 a day), and vacations...

Sinai should be divided by one line or an other. We would control the straits to Elath but not to Port Said. One day Egypt will have a leadership that will be ready to start negotiating...

Israeli security men maintained a lookout, and Israeli army units near by went on the alert, without...
...Cherbourg in December in defiance of France's arms embargo. Each Sa'ar (Hebrew for storm) carries eight Gabriels. According to Pentagon specialists, the missile represents a technological breakthrough and greatly outperforms the Soviet Styx system, which the Egyptian navy used to sink the Israeli destroyer Elath in 1967. Its guidance is self-contained, combining both infra-red (heat-seeking) and radar-homing techniques. The Gabriel hunts down its target at such low levels that it becomes coated with sea spray on long flights. Washington is particularly interested in the fact that the new missile seems...
