...when Israeli airpower virtually silenced Egyptian batteries along the Suez. Subsequently, Israeli jets began hitting industrial and military targets deep inside Egypt. Cairo last week sent two Russian-made IL-28 bombers to raid the town of El Arish in the northern Sinai, destroying an ice factory and a herd of cattle before Israeli fighters shot down at least one of the planes. Egyptian fighter-bombers also hit Israeli positions along the canal. On three separate occasions, Egyptian commandos launched across-the-canal assaults on Israeli bunkers...
...does almost everyone else, is rock-a far cry from the free-blowing kind of blues on which Woody's first band, formed in the late 1930s, pegged its fortunes. His next band (1944-47), the first and best of a long succession that bore the name Herd, was a hard-driving ensemble with a precision-drilled brass attack, modulated by a sophisticated Ellingtonian touch.

Douglas, the court said that Congress never intended to give the Selective Service "freewheeling authority to ride herd on the registrants, using immediate induction as a disciplinary or vindictive measure." The board's action, said Douglas, was "a type of administrative absolutism not congenial to our lawmaking traditions." Justice Potter Stewart and Chief Justice Warren Burger concurred, but on the narrower grounds that the draft board...
