...invasion of Jordan was one of the prime reasons for the Arab summit, when President Noureddine Atassi showed up in Cairo to represent the Damascus government he seemed surprised that anyone was upset. "You said you would never permit the Palestine resistance movement to be liquidated," he told a furious Gamal Nasser. "Well, they were being liquidated and we tried to save them. What can be wrong with that...
...your supermarket can be directly traced to the huge budget deficits incurred before President Nixon took office in 1969. You are paying more for your food and clothing because fiscally myopic and politically irresponsible men were unwilling to live within the limits of federal income during a time of furious economic activity.

That backing, more than anything else, is what Israel wants-and feels it is not getting. Golda Meir, for example, was furious because the State Department's formal letter to the U.N.. conveying both sides' acceptance of the Rogers plan, noted that Israel agreed, as part of a peace settlement, to withdraw from occupied Arab territory.

Two more times Intrepid and Picker proved quicker-by the combined times of 4 min. 20 sec. Only in the last race was McCullough able to salvage something...
Just when it appears as though this brawl is about to get out of hand, the Duke comes on and settles it all down. After a few furious fistfights, some ripsnorting, glass-shattering shoot-ups and a thunderous cattle stampede, things slip quietly back to normal. "Well," says one character, "everybody knows there's no law west of the Pecos and no God west of Dodge." The Duke smiles, and rides off to the top of that mountain again. There he sits and remembers, perhaps back to the days of the great John Ford westerns when a man could...
