Strong Support. Back home in Washington, Kissinger was delighted with the results of his brief foray. After the rough treatment he has experienced there during the past few months from congressional, press and academic critics, he was pleased to receive questions about policy rather than about wiretaps at home and "destabilization" abroad. Kissinger was also encouraged to find many members of his audiences apparently puzzled and angered by his critics on Capitol Hill. The Secretary came away satisfied that there was still strong grass-roots support for himself and his policies west of the Potomac...
...boasts ignorance as one of its chief virtues. It begins with "the Discovery That an Explanatory Theory Does Not Presently Exist," and concludes with, if not a theory, at least a suggestion of where to look.

The terrorist attack was the ninth major foray into Israel by the Palestinians since Qiryat Shemona last April. All together, 62 Israelis have been killed, 170 others have been wounded; almost all were civilians. After previous attacks, the Israeli government reacted with eye-for-eye ferocity, usually with devastating air raids and armored attacks on Palestinian refugee camps or fedayeen outposts in southern Lebanon...
...marking, "Egyptian Army Seamen," and its lone survivor at first insisted that he had set out from Port Said. (He later admitted that the party embarked from Lebanon.) Sadat must be cautious at a time when much of the Arab world is applauding the "heroism" of the fedayeen foray on Tel Aviv...
