Defensive Hawks. Complicating the U.S.-Israeli arms agreement-politically, at least-is the fact that the U.S. is simultaneously undertaking to sell arms to one of Israel's Arab neighbors. After a show of pique last week, Jordan's King Hussein decided to purchase $350 million in U.S. arms, with some strings attached. Hussein, who is paying for his weapons with funds supplied by Saudi Arabia, sought 14 batteries of Hawk ground-to-air missiles. Congress first rebuffed the Administration's request for approval of the sale, but it reversed itself last week after Ford promised that...

Hundreds of thousands of his barefoot soldiers had been killed by Fascist bombs and mustard gas. A small, bearded, hawk-faced figure with blazing black eyes, he stood at the lectern and declared: "I am here today to claim the justice that is due to my people ... God and history will remember your judgment." Then, as he stepped down, he murmured the words that were to serve as an epitaph...
...putdowns. Besides nellies, effeminate gay males are called twinkies, sissies or queens; they do their drinking in vanilla bars, swish joints or fluff parlors. The all-purpose term queen is used in many combinations: a drag queen wears women's clothes, and a chicken queen (or chicken hawk) prefers sex with underage boys...
