These are some of the political issues that make both military successes difficult to savor. There are other troubling elements???more abstract, but just as real. One is simply the exasperation always felt at watching diplomacy devolve to bloodshed. Another is the childish reactions that events like these inevitably bring out, especially in observers. Both wars have been remarkable for their displays of weapons and tactics. The effects of Argentina's Exocet missiles are still benumbing to consider. The story, when finally told, of how the Israelis adapted their E-2C Hawkeye surveillance planes to take out the Syrian MiGs...
...Sinai. I do not believe we can reach agreement with the Egyptians on Sinai without having reached an agreement in principle on the future of the West Bank and Gaza. The next step would be to announce our preference for a territorial compromise that will comprise two major elements???the principle of withdrawal from sections of the West Bank on the one hand and secure boundaries for Israel on the other. I believe the principle of withdrawal would help other Arabs to come in and join the peace process, and the principle of defensible borders for Israel will cover...
...astrology boom is made up of many elements???including merchandising, show business and crass exploitation of people's credulity. Department stores across the U.S. are mounting astrological promotions. Woolworth's is pushing a full line of zodiacal highball and cocktail glasses and paper napkins. Bulls, goats, crabs and scorpions are beginning to embellish everything from children's clothes to writing paper; St. Crispin in Manhattan is offering its Park Avenue clientele "astronotes" for invitations. One Manhattan beauty parlor boasts a resident astrologer and twelve special hairdos, one for each sign of the zodiac. A perfume manufacturer is doing well with...
...sports magazine that would chronicle "the wonderful world of sport" (Luce's phrase) without the cant and cliches that marked most sport reporting. As he reasoned: "It is a safe premise that there would not be a tremendous interest and participation if sport did not correspond to some important elements???something deeply inherent?in the human spirit. Man is an animal that works, plays and prays. No important aspect of human life should be devalued." The result was SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, which had the largest initial circulation (450,000) in magazine history and has since climbed to 1,250,000 circulation...
...sort of series, growing more complicated as the number of electrons, and hence the complexity of the atom, increases. Remove one electron at a time?if you could?and you would successively change an elementary substance from one element to another. In the case of the more complex elements???of the radium type, for example?there is a natural tendency to break down into simpler elements, which is accompanied by an efflux of energy and is, in general, accompanied by a decrease in specific gravity. Already some 14 elements have been observed and sometimes aided in decomposing into the simpler...
