...would provide an impermeable shield. Says Physics Professor Alvin Saperstein of Wayne State University: "It is not a question of trusting the Russians or the Chinese. You can't trust them. But I don't trust our own military not to lead us to disaster either. If I felt the ABM were effective, I'd live with the damn thing in my back yard. But it isn't." Thus many who want Sentinel stopped favor continued exploration for technological breakthroughs that might assure a more reliable defense...
...brothers was killed by a car speeding to outrun hostile gunfire. From modest comfort, the family was reduced to the mindless misery of refugees. It was, Sirhan insisted, a tragedy that had transformed him into a rootless being, even after he reached the U.S. in 1957. "I always felt that I had no country," he declared to the court last week when he took the witness stand in his own defense.

Substantial Progress. Israel has still not responded to the attack on an El Al airliner in Zurich last month.

As he put it, West Germany was like a recently cured alcoholic to whom one offered a bottle of booze and said: "Drink up." Heinemann also suspected that Catholic Adenauer was more interested in anti-Communist crusades than...
People and Prophets. Heschel views the war as a "rendezvous with history" that illuminated not only his own life but the lives of Jews everywhere. Speculations on "why it is significant to be a Jew" were no longer necessary. "We felt all of Jewish history present in a moment. Suddenly, we sensed the link between the Jews of this generation and the people of the time of the prophets." That "eternal link," Heschel argues, makes Israel unique. "It is the only state which bears the same name, speaks the same tongue, upholds the same faith, and inhabits the same land...
