...sense, they did. Nearly two weeks after union printing presses started to grind out blistering attacks on the President's program, a majority of union members questioned around the nation by TIME correspondents seemed to agree with Atlanta Hod Carrier W.C. Herd: "Something had to be done. If this holds prices down, it's bound to help." Many expressed no bitterness at the prospect of living on their current wages for 90 days. Says New York Policeman Jim Fitzpatrick, whose union has been negotiating with the city for a new contract in place of the expired one for eight months...
...unfinished, one year behind schedule and at least two months from completion; the contractor's losses have mounted to $500,000 while 30 Government agencies wait to move in. Reason for the delays: the Mob in Buffalo has a chokehold on Local 210 of the International Hod Carriers, Building and Common Laborers' Union of America and, as a result, on the construction of any major building in the city. Past investigations of Local 210 have revealed that union officials held stock in a concrete company that contracted with builders in Buffalo. "Phantom workers" placed on contractors' payrolls...
MIDDLE EAST Flybys and Superspies Israel celebrated the 23rd birthday of its potent air force last week with flowery words and impressive flybys. The words came from the air force commander, General Mordechai Hod: "We breathe the air of the summit of Mt. Hermon, our wings trace the tranquil waters of Mirfatz Shlomo [Sharm el Sheikh] and the reaches of Sinai, and our jets embrace the skies of Jerusalem, which has become a united whole."

Ominous as this situation may be, King points out it is also justifiable from any decent emotional, historical, or political perspective. Whites no longer hod the cards, and they no longer have the right to hold them. "White 'liberals,'" he writes, "who once marched and sang for black freedoms. . . tend to feel betrayed and sorry for themselves now that a large part of the black community rejects them." Well, it's tough shit...
...force is the object of the sort of adulation that was last seen 30 years ago this summer, when Winston Churchill's R.A.F. "few" fought off the Nazis in the Battle of Britain. In the Israelis' case, the few are chosen with painstaking care. Air Force Commander Mordechai Hod, 44, once said that if he picked 300 youths at random from a Tel Aviv street, no more than one would qualify for pilot training. Those who make it are rarely the hard-drinking, fast-living flyboys of fiction. TIME Correspondent John Shaw, visiting one base, described them as members...
