...land of hills and scrub. The old Negev Desert border stretched a porous 160 miles. With the addition of Sinai, Israel's underbelly is now bounded by open water, save for the 107-mile stretch facing the Suez Canal. Israel's classic military victory on the Golan Heights of Syria has driven the Syrians well out of shelling reach of the Galilee villages that suffered random Arab bombardment for 19 years. And with the seizure of Nasser's airbases in the Sinai, the closest Egyptian jet field is now Cairo...
...Israelis believe that the observers are likely to be ineffectual. The truce teams, which will be composed mainly of Finnish and Swedish officers, will eventually number about 30 men to cover the 107-mile front at Suez. U.N. truce observers have been patrolling the cease-fire line in the Golan Heights 40 miles south of Damascus for the past six weeks...
...large Arab population. Not only that, but the fertile west bank would make an attractive place in which to move the 315,000 refugees now crowded into the Gaza Strip, say the Israelis.

For their part, the Israelis hold out, among other things, the possibility of giving Jordan...
Policing the Vanquished. Such arrangements may be hard to put into practice. Still, it is people, not real estate, who are causing the most difficulty. From the stifling Sinai to the banks of the Jordan River and the Golan Heights of Syria, Israel is now responsible for the welfare of 1,330,000 hostile Arabs, more than a million of whom are impoverished refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Not only must those Arabs be fed and housed, Israel's small army must somehow police them and weed out saboteurs-a task immensely complicated by the fact that...
...Secret Agent Derek Flint, James Coburn works for an outfit called ZOW1E. He opposes Galaxy, a criminal conspiracy "bigger than Spectre." He carries a pocket lighter with 82 different functions, "83 if you wish to light a cigar," and keeps four mistresses, not counting Galaxy's Gila Golan. Galaxy owns a machine that prepares all five girls to serve as "pleasure units." Viewers who believe that exaggeration equals excellence ought to enjoy Flint's machine-made pleasures immensely...
