Somehow, amid all the jostling for platform time, the combatants also managed to make themselves heard. Jordan's King Hussein, who had not been anxious to go to war but gave the Israelis a respectable fight, demanded that Israel be condemned and that it give up "the fruits of aggression" before any peace talks could be considered. Unlike the intransigent Syrians and Egyptians, Hussein did not accuse the U.S. of tak ing part in the scrap. Instead of looking for scapegoats, he admitted that the Arabs had lost all by themselves.

Flowing Arab kaffiyehs appeared in kosher cafes, and Hebrew was heard in the ancient bookstores near the Damascus Gate.

He came to his priest and learned that one burst of semen had bound him to a whore...
Three years ago, Bernard Relin, 53, president of New York's Rheingold Corp., the nation's eleventh largest brewer, heard that a Swiss chemist named Hersch Gablinger had found a way to make carbohydrate-free beer. Now, having bought out his secret, Rheingold's Forrest Brewing division has just introduced a no-carbohydrate beer named after Gablinger. On the bottle is an inscription, "Doesn't fill you up," a pitch that Rheingold hopes will make Gablinger's a bestseller among weight-weary beer lovers...
