...comes up over Israel, the steward makes an announcement: "You are now over Tel Aviv. Blessed be your coming." The 707 wheels, dips and lands lightly; as it does, the passengers burst into applause and patriotic Hebrew songs. "God bless Golda Meir," shouts an exuberant Georgian. Gershon Mazin sings an old Zionist song, Peace to you, O Jerusalem...
Israel received substantial benefits for agreeing to take part, so much so that Israeli-American relations have risen from an alltime low last fall to a new high. For one thing, the U.S. decided to deliver 40 or so Phantom jets that Premier Golda Meir had sought to buy for a year. The Administration has indicated that the planes will be shipped piecemeal and for only as long as Israel continues to be cooperative. In an election year, however, Nixon is not likely to hold back on jets that have become a symbol of American support for Israel...
...Cycles" is more concerned with exploding the myth of male biological stability than with mitigating the effects of human cycles. The thesis that violence is a 'masculine' way of solving conflict is self-righteously assumed by a writer who has apparently forgotten about Indira Gandhi and Golda Meir.

During her visit to the White House last month, Israeli Premier Golda Meir bluntly asked President Nixon to sell her the 50 Phantoms that Israel had been requesting for 15 months. Until Mrs. Meir's visit, the U.S. response had been that Middle East military forces were in balance -which really meant undiminished Israeli superiority-and that Israel had no need for more than the 76 Phantoms it now owns. After the White House talks, President Nixon reversed that stand. The U.S. will provide Israel with Phantoms as well as slower but versatile A-4 Skyhawk fighter-bombers...
