...quite frankly that there simply wasn't enough time; there were too many scientific questions and there wasn't time to go into detail about how the society works. I suspect that they thought that without great explanation I wouldn't understand, and I suspect they were right. I gather that the party is very broadly based with something like a million members.

To monitor the Suez Canal front, the Israelis rely chiefly on high-speed passes by camera-carrying Phantoms during the daytime. At night, the mainstay of Israeli intelligence is a chain of electronic listening posts in the Sinai hills near the canal. But both these methods have glaring weaknesses: the Phantom pictures are often blurred, and the electronic...
