Using an Elliott 503 computer, Yehuda Radday, a lecturer in biblical studies and Hebrew in Haifa, produced a 175-page statistical linguistics analysis of Isaiah.

A day after last week's raid on the Egyptian capital, a Syrian jet buzzed Haifa, breaking windows with its supersonic boom. Exacting the biblical ration of an eye for an eye-and then some-the Israelis buzzed five Syrian cities, including Damascus...
...trouble getting the other two. They sailed the pair out of Cherbourg on a trial run, as they had done in the past, carrying a limited fuel supply. Just beyond the territorial limit. Israeli planes appeared overhead and parachuted enough additional fuel for the long run to Haifa...
