...question is: What will Allon propose now? Officials in Jerusalem hint that Israel might return the oilfields if it received a guaranteed substitute source (possibly the U.S.) for the 25 million bbl. Abu Rudeis now pumps out annually. Israel might also give up the passes, according to these officials, if: 1) the area were demilitarized, 2) the term of the disengagement ran for several years, 3) Israeli cargoes (though not necessarily Israeli ships) had rights of passage through the Suez Canal, and 4) Egypt tacitly agreed to some kind of assurance of nonbelligerence.

...Continents in Motion is a serious book. It is a disturbing one as well, for it ends on as deep a note of mystery as it begins. The theories of continental drift explain how the continents and the oceans that separate them were formed. But those theories can only hint at probable changes to come.

To give Gabel's unclouded intelligence its due, the gravity of his mien is sometimes tinged with a wry hint of skepticism about the contents of the play...
Affirmative Action. The party left wanted a system of specific quotas, as in 1972; the party right - notably the AFL-CIO - desired no hint of quotas that might dilute its traditional power in par ty affairs. Going into Kansas City, Strauss had managed to get both sides to agree to a compromise that had been worked out by a commission headed by Mikulski in drawing up the 1976 rules...
