...usual, the Israelis were the apparent victors. Their admitted losses were one jet and one soldier, and they claimed to have knocked out four guerrilla bases and much of Jordan's ar tillery. The battle was, declared Chief of Staff Haim Bar-lev, "a blow greater than the one of Feb. 15"-when Israel unleashed a similar assault. But it is hardly likely to stop the Jordanian terrorists, who are now the heroes of the Arab world, from continuing their own destructive blows against Israel. Since the Israelis have threatened to answer each new terrorist raid with an attack...
Like the Supreme Court, however, good parents draw a sharp line between free speech and illegal conduct. Author-Psychologist Haim G. Ginott, author of the currently much-discussed Between Parent and Child, argues that "most discipline problems consist of two parts: angry feelings and angry acts.

Nothing makes a small child more anxious than being asked if he "wants" to do this or that...

...concerned over a new rash of Arab terrorism. It began with random minings of roads and railroads, but has spread to such targets as the former Fast Hotel in Old Jerusalem, which was dynamited (it was scheduled to be torn down anyway), and a large canning factory at Givat Haim, which was blasted by a tractor toting 25 lbs. of TNT. The professional jobs are thought to be the work of the Syrian-trained terrorists of El Fatah, and Israeli agents fanned out through Arab settlements in the occupied territories picking up Fatah suspects. They arrested some 200, most...
